La Wallonie 1886-1892: The Symbolist Movement in Belgium (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436710619)

La Wallonie 1886-1892: The Symbolist Movement In Belgium is a book written by Andrew Jackson Mathews. It provides a comprehensive overview of the Symbolist movement in Belgium during the years 1886 to 1892. The book focuses on the region of Wallonia, which was a major center of artistic and literary activity during this time. The Symbolist movement was a literary and artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th century as a response to the increasing industrialization and scientific rationalism of the time. Symbolist artists and writers sought to create works that were deeply personal and subjective, often exploring themes of spirituality, mysticism, and the unconscious mind. Mathews' book examines the major figures of the Symbolist movement in Wallonia, including Maurice Maeterlinck, Emile Verhaeren, and Georges Rodenbach. It also explores the cultural and political context in which the movement emerged, including the rise of socialism and the struggle for Belgian independence. La Wallonie 1886-1892: The Symbolist Movement In Belgium is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Symbolist movement or the cultural history of Belgium. It provides a detailed and insightful analysis of a fascinating period in Belgian art and literature, and sheds light on the broader cultural and political forces that shaped this movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
