Poems - (Rodenbach Georges)(Paperback)

Arc Publications 2017 Arc Publications 114 Rodenbach, Georges Paperback / softback

Bruges was Rodenbach's muse and poetic source, the landscape in which he attempted to reveal the significance of what appeared lifeless or unconnected to art. Using the symbolist devices of suggestion and mood, Rodenbach sifts the elements that make up the decaying Bruges which he sees as a medieval corpse laid out for him to 'rescue'.
