"An extension of the cumulated list (up to publication 280) which appeared in the Guide de la Fédération Internationale de Documentation" (FID 267, 1955) and 75 years of FID Publications, a bibliography, 1895-1970 (up to publication 471) issued by the FID Secretariat in 1970 (FID 469)."
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 siecle 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 Herge.
