John Addington Symonds 5 October 1840 - 19 April 1893) was an English poet and literary critic. A cultural historian, he was known for his work on the Renaissance, as well as numerous biographies of writers and artists. Although he married and had a family, he was an early advocate of male love (homosexuality), which he believed could include pederastic as well as egalitarian relationships, referring to it as l'amour de l'impossible (love of the impossible).He also wrote much poetry inspired by his homosexual affairs.Symonds was born at Bristol, England in 1840. His father, the senior John Addington Symonds, M.D. (1807-1871), was the author of Criminal Responsibility (1869), The Principles of Beauty (1857) and Sleep and Dreams. Considered delicate, the younger Symonds did not take part in games after age 14 at Harrow School, and he showed no particular promise as a scholar. Symonds's mother died when he was only four years old, and his father had a powerful influence upon the formation of his character. The fashionable Freudian theory that a man's homosexuality is caused by a close-binding-intimate mother and a weak-or-absent father is put to rout by Symonds's childhood, in which the opposite was the case.

Renaissance In Italy: The Fine Arts is a book written by John Addington Symonds in 1882. The book is a comprehensive study of the fine arts during the Renaissance period in Italy. The author explores the various art forms that flourished during this time, including painting, sculpture, architecture, and music. He delves into the cultural and historical context that gave rise to these art forms, and the ways in which they reflected the values and beliefs of the people of the time.Symonds also examines the lives and works of some of the most notable artists of the Renaissance, including Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael. He explores their techniques, styles, and influences, and provides detailed analyses of some of their most famous works.Throughout the book, Symonds emphasizes the importance of the Renaissance as a period of great cultural and artistic achievement, and as a turning point in the history of Western civilization. He argues that the Renaissance represented a break from the medieval past, and a new era of humanism, intellectual inquiry, and artistic expression.Overall, Renaissance In Italy: The Fine Arts is a rich and insightful exploration of one of the most important periods in the history of art and culture.

The fashionable Freudian theory that a man's homosexuality is caused by a close-binding-intimate mother and a weak-or-absent father is put to rout by Symonds's childhood, in which the opposite was the case. Admittedly there were mostly women in the household, governesses, aunts, and eventually four sisters, but he records no sense of being overwhelmed by the feminine atmosphere, and was fairly indifferent to their presence. In January 1858 Symonds received a letter from his friend Alfred Pretor (1840-1908), telling of Pretor's affair with their headmaster, Charles John Vaughan. Symonds was shocked and disgusted, feelings complicated by his growing awareness of his own homosexuality. He did not mention the incident for more than a year until, in 1859 and a student at Oxford University, he told the story to John Conington, the Latin professor. Conington approved of romantic relationships between men and boys. He had earlier given Symonds a copy of Ionica, a collection of homoerotic verse by William Johnson Cory, the influential Eton College master and advocate of pederastic pedagogy. Conington encouraged Symonds to tell his father about his friend's affair, and the senior Symonds forced Vaughan to resign from Harrow. Pretor was angered by the younger man's part and never spoke to Symonds again.

The studies of Greek Poets, now reprinted, appeared in England in two series, published at an interval of three or four years. In preparing this edition, I have rearranged the chapters of both series in their proper order, and have made certain additions, with the view of rendering the book more complete as a survey of Greek Poetry. Thus I have inserted several new translations in the chapters on the Lyric Poets and the Anthology. The criticism of Euripides has been enlarged, and the concluding chapter has been, in a great measure, rewritten. Each chapter has undergone such revision and alteration in minor details as might remove unnecessary repetitions and bring the whole series of essays into harmony. At the same time I have judged it inexpedient to introduce radical changes into a book which professes to be the reprint of volumes already known to the English public. For this reason the chapters which deal with the Greek Tragedians have been left substantially in their original form, and bear upon their face the record of their composition as almost independent essays.
