Resumen de Émile Verhaeren et André Gide, les mondes des écrits de Maria Van Rysselberghe
Maria Van Rysselberghe found herself at the heart of literary and artistic circles in the end of the century Belgium, one of the hinges of European modernism, but also of the “Nouvelle Revue Française” circle of the inter-war period. Of these experiences, the one of the first Belgian French-speaking women writers drew several books which are much more than testimonies. Il y a quarante ans [Forty years ago], as well as Strophes pour un rossignol [Stanzas for a nightingale], recount, in form of a story and then a poem, her passion for Emile Verhaeren. As for Galerie privée [Private gallery], it draws up, with an acuity worthy of the Grand Siècle, portraitsof writers and major artists of her time. The four posthumous volumes of Cahiers de la Petite Dame [Notebooks of the Little Lady] focus on André Gide’s everyday life as much as on the way of living, thinking and writing of the gidian circle.
