 Rémy de Gourmont and Félix Fénéon were literary critics associated with symbolism.The symbolist and decadent literary styles were satirized by a book of poetry, "Les Déliquescences d'Adoré Floupette", published in 1885 by Henri Beauclair and Gabriel Vicaire.Symbolism in literature is distinct from symbolism in art although the two were similar in many aspects.
