4.0 out of 5 stars
Nearly complete but full of unnecessary detail,
By
This review is from: Maurice Maeterlinck, (Twayne's world authors series, TWAS 342. France) (Hardcover)
I bought this book in order to obtain a miniscule understanding of Maeterlinck's biography, because I was writing a paper on Schoenberg's adaptation of his 'Herzgewaesche.' While reading the book, I became more interested in Maeterlinck's material and sought out his early plays. This book is great with describing and summarizing Maeterlinck's important plays and essays. It also provides a nice biography, although it leaves out what happened to Georgette Leblanc. The biography loses momentum and focus when it wanders into an explanation of the history of mysticism in somewhat gross detail while only slightly relating it to Maeterlinck and his ideas.
