This volume of edited essays is the first one in English to offer a
critical overview of the specific features of Belgian modernity
from 1880 to 1940 in a multiplicity of disciplines: literature and
poetry, politics, music, photography and drama. The first half of
the book investigates the roots of twentieth century modernity in
Belgian fin de sicle across a variety of genres (novel, poetry and
drama), not only within but also beyond the boundaries of
Symbolism. The contributors go on to examine the explosion of
Belgian culture on the international scene with the rise of the
avant-gardes, notably Surrealism: and the contribution made in
minor genres, such as the popular novels of Simenon and Jean Ray,
and the Tintin comics of Herg.
