Maurice Maeterlinck Maurice Maeterlinck (1862 1949) Belgian Symbolist poet, playwright, and essayist whose dramas are the outstanding works of the Symbolist theatre. http://www.nobel-winners.com/Literature/maurice_maeterlinck.html
Extractions: Maeterlinck wrote many other plays, including historical dramas such as Monna Vanna (1902). Gradually, he tempered the influence of Symbolism by his interest in English drama, especially William Shakespeare and the Jacobeans. Only L'Oiseau bleu (1908; The Blue Bird) rivaled Pelleas et Melisande in popularity. An allegorical fantasy conceived as a play for children, it portrays a search for happiness in the world. First performed by the Moscow Art Theatre (1908), this somewhat sentimental dramatic parable was highly regarded for a time, but its charm has evaporated, and the optimism of the play now seems facile. Maeterlinck's Le Bourgmestre de Stilmonde (1918; The Burgomaster of Stilmonde), a patriotic play in which he explores the problems of Flanders under the wartime rule of an unprincipled German officer, briefly enjoyed a great reputation. In his Symbolist plays Maeterlinck uses poetic speech, gesture, lighting, setting, and ritual to create symbolic images that exteriorize his protagonists' moods and dilemmas. Often the protagonists are waiting for something mysterious and fearful that will destroy them. The profound and moving atmosphere of the plays, though lacking in intellectual complexity, is served by dialogue that is tentative, based on half-formed suggestions, at times naively repetitious, and occasionally sentimental, but sometimes possessed of great subtlety and power. Maeterlinck's plays have been widely translated, and no Belgian dramatist had greater effect on worldwide audiences.

Extractions: DANS LE JARDIN DES PRÉBENDES Vendredi 2 août 2002, de 17 h 30 à 19 h Maurice MAETERLINCK par Jacqueline LEMAÎTRE Maurice MAETERLINCK est né à Gand, le 29 août 1862, dune très ancienne famille flamande. Poète et dramaturge, moraliste, observateur passionné du monde animal, il reçoit en 1911, le prix Nobel pour « Pélléas et Mélisande » que Debussy mettra en musique. Il a séjourné en Touraine, au château du Coudray-Montpensier à Seuilly, invité par ses beaux-parents. Il mourra à Nice en 1949 dans sa propriété dOrlamonde, un ancien casino inachevé surplombant la mer, qui est aujourdhui transformé en hôtel de luxe. Jai choisi de vous lire des extraits du recueil intitulé « Chansons ». Passionné par les vieilles complaintes, il gardera toute sa vie, un goût marqué pour les anciennes chansons populaires de son terroir flamand. À lâge de trente ans, il écrit neuf chansons, à 60 ans, il compose les treize chansons de lamour. Il dira quil y avait dans cette écriture une manière de jouer avec les mots harmonieux. On y retrouve les thèmes essentiels de Maeterlinck, le mystère, linquiétude face à linconnaissable et langoisse devant le destin.

Maeterlinck, M.: Hothouses: Poems, 1889. Maurice Maeterlinck (1862?1949) was a Belgian playwright and poet who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911. He wrote http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/7505.html
Extractions: Sample Poems [HTML] or [PDF format] On May 31, 1889, a young Belgian lawyer from a wealthy bourgeois family in Ghent published a book of 33 poems in 155 copies. Maurice Maeterlinck's legal career was floundering but his road to literary greatness had begun. Long overshadowed by the plays that later won him the Nobel Prize, Serres chaudes Hothouses ) nonetheless came to be widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of literary Modernism after Baudelaire. While Max Nordau soon seized upon Maeterlinck'stumult of imagesas symptomatic of a pervasive social malaise, decades later Antonin Artaud pronounced, "Maeterlinck was the first to introduce the multiple riches of the subconscious into literature." Richard Howard's translation of this quietly radical work is the first to be published in nearly a century, and the first to accurately convey Maeterlinck's elusive visionary force. The poems, some of them in free verse (new to Belgium at the time), combine the decadent symbolism and the language of dislocation that Maeterlinck later perfected in his dramas. Hothouses reflects the influence not only of French poets including Verlaine and Rimbaud, but also of Whitman. As for the title, the author said it was "a natural choice, Ghent . . . abounding in greenhouses."
