Biography
Biography
Edmond Bailly was a musician and writer of symbolic, theosophical and esoteric inspiration. He wrote essays, narratives and articles on "esoteric music". Established in October 1889, Bailly ran an occult bookshop known as the Independent Art Bookstore (Librairie de l'art independant) which was a central meeting place for artists, writers, and musicians in fin-de-siècle Paris. It was located in several places, most notably at 11 Rue de la Chaussée-d'Antin. Bailly published several magazines and took care of young authors. He became one of the animators of symbolism but also of the Theosophical Society. André Gide, Paul Claudel, Henri de Régnier, Pierre Louÿs, Louis-Nicolas Ménard began publishing their first works at the Librairie de l'Art Indépendant, which closed in 1917.
