He is remembered for his untiring efforts to loosen the restraints on homosexuals in England, and his Memoirs are the only diary of a Victorian homosexual of his stature. Symonds was a most voluminous letter-writer. It is always a marvel how he found time for so much and such varied correspondence in the midst of his ceaseless output of books. |
