A Treasure to All Who are Lucky Enough to Encounter...By Sandy FrazierI echo the sentiments of the previous reviewers... and agree wholeheartedly. I can tell you from my own extensive studies of Maeterlinck that he has inspired me in wondrous ways...

Sandy Frazier - [...]11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. The book of outstanding spiritual strength.By Andria RogavaI think that this is a shame and a misery of our modern civilization that books of this kind are not available to general reader. This collection of essays is a great source of spiritual vigour and a fruit of very profound work of mind and very pure sentiments. As Maeterlinck says in one of the essays "this is the disgrace of whole our existence that we live so far from our own souls..." This book just helps to make this wretched, miserably pragmatic existence at least realized and to try to find the way to disclose the world of human spirituality for ourselves. Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections ndash; such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

If you would like to learn more about the Leopold Classic Library collection please visit our website at www.leopoldclassiclibrary.com About the AuthorMaurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949) was a Belgian author, the outstanding exponent of symbolist drama and the author of The Blue Bird and Pelleacute;as and Meacute;lisande. Maeterlinck was born August 29, 1862, in Ghent and educated in law at the university there. He abandoned the legal profession when he moved to Paris in 1886 and came under the influence of the symbolist poets. Reacting against the prevailing naturalism of French literature, Maeterlinck wrote some symbolist poetry, notably Les serres chaudes (Hothouses, 1889). He is known principally for his plays, for which he received the 1911 Nobel Prize. He lectured in the U.S. in 1921 and spent World War II there. Maeterlinck returned to Europe following the war and died May 6, 1949, in Nice, France. Maeterlinck's plays are characterized by clear and simple writing, by a dreamlike atmosphere, and by the suggestion rather than the direct expression of ideas and emotions. His early plays are marked by an attitude of profound melancholy and pessimism in the face of evil and death; in his later plays this attitude gives way to a belief in the redeeming power of love and in the reality of human happiness. His plays include The Princess Maleine (1889); the melancholy fantasy masterpiece Pelleacute;as et Meacute;lisande (1892), made into an opera (1902) by the French composer Claude Debussy; and The Blue Bird (1909), which has become a classic for children. Less popular are Monna Vanna (1902) and The Burgomaster of Stilmonde (1918). Maeterlinck was also the author of many works in prose that deal with philosophic questions and with nature; they include The Treasure of the Humble (1896), The Life of the Bee (1901), and The Intelligence of Flowers (1907).

  • The Spell of Belgium
    The Spell of Belgium By Isabel Anderson THE SPELL OF BELGIUM CHAPTER I THE NEW POST THE winter which I spent in Belgium proved a unique niche in my experience, for it showed me the daily life and characteristics of a people of an old civilization as I could never have known them from casual meetings in the course of ordinary travel. My husband first heard of his nomination as Minister to Belgium over the telephone. We were at Beverly, which was the summer capital that year, when he was told that his name was on the list sent from Washington. Although he had been talked of for the position, still in a way his appointment came as a surprise, and a very pleasant one, too, for we had been assured that “Little Paris” was an attractive post, and that Belgium was especially interesting to diplomats on account of its being the cockpit of Europe. After receiving this first notification, L. called at the “Summer White House” in Beverly, and later went to Washington for instructions. It was not long before we were on our way to the new post. Through a cousin of my husband’s who had married a Belgian, the Comte de Buisseret, we were able to secure a very nice house in Brussels, the Palais d’Assche. As it was being done over by the owners, I remained in Paris during the autumn, waiting until the work should be finished. My husband, of course, went directly to Brussels, and through his letters I was able to gain some idea of what our life there was to be.

    Copyright by Laura Kathleen Valeri 2011 The Thesis Committee for Laura Kathleen Valeri Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Rediscovering Maurice Maeterlinck and His Significance for Modern Art APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: Linda D. Henderson Richard A. Shiff Rediscovering Maurice Maeterlinck and His Significance for Modern Art by Laura Kathleen Valeri, BA Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Abstract Rediscovering Maurice Maeterlinck and His Significance for Modern Art Laura Kathleen Valeri, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Linda D. Henderson This thesis examines the impact of Maurice Maeterlinck’s ideas on modern artists. Maeterlinck's poetry, prose, and early plays explore inherently Symbolist issues, but a closer look at his works reveals a departure from the common conception of Symbolism. Most Symbolists adhered to correspondence theory, the idea that the external world within the reach of the senses consisted merely of symbols that reflected a higher, objective reality hidden from humans. Maeterlinck rarely mentioned symbols, instead claiming that quiet contemplation allowed him to gain intuitions of a subjective, truer reality. Maeterlinck’s use of ambiguity and suggestion to evoke personal intuitions appealed not only to nineteenth-century Symbolist artists like Édouard Vuillard, but also to artists in pre-World War I Paris, where a strong Symbolist current continued. Maeterlinck’s ideas also offered a parallel to the theories of Henri Bergson, embraced by the Puteaux Cubists Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes.

  • The Scopophilic Garden from Monet to Mirbeau in His Attempt
    CHAPTER 7 Hysterical Vision: The Scopophilic Garden from Monet to Mirbeau In his attempt to give ocular disorders a psychoanalytical inter­ pretation, Freud cited the tale of Lady Godiva. This "beautiful legend," he wrote, "tells how all the town's inhabitants hid behind their shuttered windows, so as to make easier the lady's task of riding naked through the streets in broad daylight, and how the only man who peeped through the shutters at her revealed loveli­ ness was punished by going blind."1 For Freud, the fate of the renegade voyeur illustrated how scopophilia (the "love of looking") is punished by the ego with blindness or, in the term popularized by his teacher Jean-Martin Charcot, with scotomization (from the Greek skotos, meaning "darkness"; signifying partial, distorted, or peripheral vision within the fieldof ophthalmology). Moving beyond the studies of hysterical vision made by Charcot and Pierre Janet between 1887 and 1889, which merely identified characteristic symptoms such as color blindness, dilated pupils, strabismus, and the twisting of the orb to reveal the whites of the eye, Freud inferred the law of lex talionis (Urteilvenverfung), literally, "retaliation," in the condemnation of a visual representation deemed sexually culpable by the faculty of judgment. This "verdict of guilty," strangely recalling the old wives' tale that masturbation leads to blindness, also evokes as its corollary the equally proverbial notion 1.

Further references to this essay will be to this edition and will be abbreviated "DY.'' 147 148 Feminizing the Fetish of "turning a blind eye." For Freud, however, these sayings were the folkloric expressions of a malady that was not only individual but also collective.

  • From Cabinets of Curiosities to Exhibitions: Victorian Curiosity, Curiousness, and Curious Things in Charlotte Brontë
    From Cabinets of Curiosities to Exhibitions: Victorian Curiosity, Curiousness, and Curious Things in Charlotte Brontë Supervisor: Dr. Sophie Gilmartin Han-ying Liu A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Institute of English Royal Holloway, University of London In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2012 1 Dedication This thesis would never have come into being without the thorough and thoughtful supervision of Dr. Sophie Gilmartin. She has witnessed and helped cultivate the arduous developments of both this thesis and my yet wanting academic aptitude. To her support, both academic and moral, I will always bear immense gratitude. I am equally grateful for my parents. Their own academic expertise in the field of history has greatly influenced my interest in literature; their invariable and perpetual support for my choices in life has freed me of any concerns about walking such a lonely and strenuous path. My examiners have also helped bring this thesis to completion by providing many inspiring suggestions. Their feedbacks will indeed serve as a valuable guidance for me while I revise this thesis for publication. This thesis is to a great extent indebted to my dear friend Alfie, who, as I gingerly embarked upon an academic life in a country quite foreign to me, showered me with affection and encouragement from the other end of the earth.Our relationship had suffered from the distance, yet the friendship thus reborn from mutual support is strong and lasting. Finally, special thanks to my love, Pan, who had patiently accompanied me through the last, most psychologically and emotionally trying stages of the writing-up.

    L’ENFANT ©Christophe Loiseau [Animated materials, immersives installations] [Stage form, creation November 2018] [In situ form, creation February 2019] ©Christophe Loiseau L’Enfant (The Child) plunges us physically and substantially into the mystery at the heart of La mort de Tintagiles (The Death of Tintagiles), STATEMENT OF a play written by Maurice Maeterlinck in the late 19th century. Still very much engulfed in his immateriality, the «infant», from the Latin Infans, INTENT meaning «not having the faculty of speech», sits between worlds. He makes no distinction between the real and the imaginary, life and FOR death, and knows that the real is «merely one of the most transient ALL AGES aspects of infinite reality» as according to Artaud. OVER 14 The unexpected return of the infant, Tintagiles, to the devastated island strikes both joy and fear into the heart of his sister, Ygraine. Ygraine Duration 1h lives a life of subjection to an omnipresent yet invisible Queen, a figure who is preceded by a sense of imminent danger. Ygraine resolves to confront the dull and distant rumble (the dull and distant menace?) that destroys everything in its wake and threatens the child. In an act of rebellion, she upsets the established order, breaks down boundaries and enters that space impenetrable to the living, wherein she glimpses the infinite world of the shadow realm. « He is asleep in the other room. He was a little pale, he did not seem A funereal ode of cosmic proportions, the play is tantamount to well. The journey had tired him—he an act of regeneration, where the dynamic balance of existence is was a long time on the sea.
