Dedicated to Émile Verhaeren, this 1911 anthology introduces English readers to the remarkable flowering of French-language poetry in Belgium at the turn of the century. Bithell translates poets from Sylvain Bonmariage, Thomas Braun, Isi-Collin, Jean Dominique and Max Elskamp onward, including Maeterlinck’s haunting song of the woman who waits, with an introduction on the movement.
