Maurice Maeterlinck

1862–1949

Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949) was a Belgian playwright, poet and essayist who wrote in French, and was made a count in 1932.

Jethro Bithell's 1911 anthology classes him as a Fleming, remarking that he might equally have written in Flemish, and prints fifteen of his early poems together with a set of ten songs.
