BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: 'The Symbolist poets were strongly influenced by the works of'.
Since the provided data lists the answer as 'Edgar Allan Poe.' but does not supply any answer options, we cannot evaluate multiple choices. Nevertheless, we can discuss why Edgar Allan Poe is commonly identified as an influence on Symbolist poets.
First, Poe’s distinctive atmosphere, exploration of the uncanny, and focus on ritual, symbol, and mood provided a template for the Symbolists to evoke inner states and abstractions beyond literal meaning. His use of symbolic imagery and musical prose appealed to poets seeking suggestive resonance rather than straightforward realism.
Second, in the French Symbolist movement, Charles Baudelaire played a central role in introducing Poe’s work to French readers, notably through translations that highlighted Poe’s preoccupation with the sublime, the macabre, and the mysterious. This transmission helped shape the Symbolists' own emphasis on symbol, suggestion, and the exploration of the psyche.
Third, other Symbolists, such as Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine, drew on Poe’s mood-centric approach and its capacity to convey complex, layered meanings, which aligned with Symbolist aims to elevate poetry beyond narrative clarity toward musicality and suggestion.
Finally, while Poe is a key influence, Symbolist poetry also drew on broader Romantic and Gothic sources, myth, dream psychology, and aesthetics from various cultures. Therefore, Poe’s impact is significant but part of a larger web of influences, rather than the sole source.
If answer options were presented, you would likely see an option naming Poe as the influence, with others potentially including writers not typically associated with Symbolist influence (for example, more realist or naturalist writers) which would be less accurate in this context.
