Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Writings of Maurice Maeterlinck This is not a man who would chatter himself away, ' not even to Mr Frank Harris, who found him aggressive (and no wonder either if the Englishman said by word of mouth what he says in print, namely that The Treasure of the Humble was written at length after The Life of the Bee, M onna Vanna, and the translation of Mac beth The fact is, there is very little printed matter easily available on the biography proper of Maeterlinck. It is true we have several accounts of him by his wife in a style singularly like his own; we have gossip; we have delightful portraits of the houses he lives in - but we have no bricks for building with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck a Study Maeterlinck is a man of the open; he is healthful and health-giving, and he has never wilfully kept his eye upon the can ker-worm. In this respect, he is the oppo site of Henrik Ibsen. The latter never changed; he varied now and again; but be rather deepened his conviction than alter ed it. In every respect is Maeterlinck sub jcet to evolution; he is constantly shifting his base. But he is doing this, not in order to discomfort his readers, but in order to place himself upon a more serene basis in his search after the highest truth. Only in so far as he disturbs himself may he be called a revolutionary, a disillusionizer. His writings are simply expressions of his thinking aloud. There is no design in them, except in so far as they mark the transit of an individual deeply concerned about the hidden forces of existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck Poet and Philosopher Which of us is there who would not just now do his little best for the glory and honour, as well as for the material well-being, of Belgium, heroic in her struggle against the overwhelming onslaught and tyrannic oppression of a cruel foe, great in strength but not in soul? The gallantry and magnificently united front of what used to be "little" Belgium has shown Germany what inspiration a great soul can put into a small body. Alas, that we have not been able to save Belgium from her bitter fate! Our part now is to act so that the bitterest consequences, annexation and continued domination by our joint enemy, may not also fall to her lot. She has preserved her soul from the depths of the deadly conflict - may we not help to disseminate her spirit, to spread her teaching far and wide, to create and stimulate the desire among all English speaking peoples, in every quarter of the globe, the wish to read, learn, and inwardly digest the works of those who bear great names in her literature? If this essay should rouse or encourage the desire to study the noble works of Maeterlinck at first hand (and that is the only way in which really to appreciate him), it would have amply accomplished its task.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck: A Biographical Study The little gleam that flickers on the horizon, one cannot tell yet if it is a rush light or a planet. In these or some such terms was Maeterlinck referred to, at the end of 1889, by one of the first critics of the Princesse M alcine. The writer had not been convinced by Octave Mirbeau's dithyramb, who, like another wise man from the East, had greeted the little Princess with the strange white lashes as the shepherds' star of a poetical Messiah.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck Massacre of the Innocents and some of the poems collected in Serres Chaudes, and is otherwise unforgotten for its part in the history of symbolism. The'law-student returned to Ghent after little more than six months and began to practise at the Bar. But Rodenbach had introduced him to La fame Belgique, and he had contributed more poems to it. The year 1889 saw inseparable events - the publication of Maeterlinck's poems, Serres Chaudes, and his farewell to the Bar. Madame Maeterlinck mentions a very accurate mind and a special gift of practical good sense among his qualifications for the legal profession. The en thusiastic Gerard Harry says that he lost with triumphant ease the first and last cases in which he pleaded, and gives as one reason the fact that his voice was impracticably harsh and thin, and as another his excessive shyness and solitary, taciturn habits of meditation.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Maurice Maeterlinck and Other Sketches of Foreign Writers It was not till he wrote the series of essays called Le Tresor des Humbles that we could any of us understand M. Maeterlinck. In his earlier moods he seemed to be trying to copy the Elizabethan drama, especially in its sugges tions of vague horror and crude, soul-subduing crime. As a matter of fact, the Belgian writer translated into French one of the most charac teristic of John Ford's plays; another of the Belgian school reproduced Webster's Duchess of Malfi and the whole of Princess Maleine is a pale and ineffective version of what Shake speare achieved so triumphantly in Hamlet and Macbeth. But though the attractiveness of the supernatural always remained as an over powering interest for our author, he ceased to care for the crude and the morbid forms of tragedy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maurice Maeterlinck, Vol. 5: A Critical Study Some twenty or more years ago, in 1889, Maurice Maeterlinck entered upon his public literary career with the small volume of lyrics entitled Serres Chaudes and the drama of La Princesse Maleine, to be followed by some fifteen plays and dramatic scenes. Le Tresor des Humbles, appearing in 1896, in like manner preluded the series of volumes which comprise, up to the present day, the sum total of his philosophical treatises, ethical essays, and other prose writings. Poet-dramatist and transcendental essayist, Maeterlinck has elected to present his art and his thought in the two distinct forms dictated by the trend of his literary genius. But if it is inevitable that a critical appreciation of his works should deal separately with these diverse modes of expression, it is also necessary to bear in mind that the poet-dramatist never ceases to be a philosophic moralist, that the transcendental essayist never ceases to be a poet.

This book was released on 2023-06-21 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck was a Belgian playwright, poet, and essayist who was Flemish but wrote in French. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911 "in appreciation of his many-sided literary activities, and especially of his dramatic works, which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy, which reveals, sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale, a deep inspiration, while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations". The main themes in his work are death and the meaning of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sister Beatrice and Ardiane Barbe Bleue: Two Plays; Translated Into English Verse From the Manuscript of Maurice Maeterlinck "These two little plays," says the author, "are really librettos. Music is being written to them by M. Gilkas." The French version is in unrhymed alexandrines, if the term be permissible; that is, in unrhymed lines of twelve syllables. It is of course possible to employ this metre in English verse, but it is a medium as yet too little polished by use to refract, without theft or distortion, its immanent sense; it is, so to speak, one of your material metres, more ready to present itself in body than in spirit, being still in a primitive stage of evolution, and waiting the master-hand which shall teach it an easy delivery and self-effacement.
