Symonds
English essayist, poet, and biographer. He traveled extensively for his health, finally settling in Switzerland. His chief work, Renaissance in Italy (1875-86), is a series of extended essays on cultural history. His writings include translations, travel sketches, and studies of personalities such as P. B. Shelley, B. Jonson, P. Sidney, Michelangelo, and W. Whitman. His poetry served primarily as a release from his difficult emotional life. A Problem in Greek Ethics (written 1871) and A Problem in Modern Ethics (1881) were among the first serious works treating homosexuality.

Irish poet and mystic. A leading figure in the Irish Literary Renaissance, he published many books of verse, incl. Homeward (1894). Though initially considered by many to be the equal of W. B. Yeats, he did not develop as a poet, and many critics found him facile, vague, and monotonous. His pseudonym arose from a proofreader's query about an earlier pseudonym, Æ on.
