Residence and Later Life in Kent
Poet involved
What happened
Following his wife's death in 1936, Arthur Symons lived at Island Cottage, Back Street, Kingsgate in Tenterden, Kent, England, until his own passing. This period of solitude was marked by reflection and the support of his housekeeper, who helped him navigate his later years. Symons's time in Kent allowed him to contemplate his literary legacy and the impact of his earlier works.
Literary impact
This period of relative seclusion in rural Kent allowed for reflective writing and compilation of earlier works, though output was limited. It symbolized a quiet close to his peripatetic life, with the stability of place contrasting his earlier urban inspirations and enabling contemplation of his legacy in Symbolism and Decadence.
