The Plays Of Emile Verhaeren

""The Plays of Emile Verhaeren: The Dawn, The Cloister, Philip II, Helen of Sparta"" is a collection of four plays written by Belgian poet and playwright Emile Verhaeren. The plays explore various themes such as love, power, religion, and war, and are written in Verhaeren's signature style of symbolism and lyrical language. ""The Dawn"" tells the story of a young woman's journey to self-discovery and freedom, while ""The Cloister"" explores the conflicts between religious devotion and human desire. ""Philip II"" is a historical drama that portrays the Spanish king's struggle to maintain his power in a changing world, and ""Helen of Sparta"" is a retelling of the famous myth of Helen and the Trojan War. Published in 1916, this collection showcases Verhaeren's mastery of both poetry and drama, and offers readers a glimpse into the literary and cultural landscape of early 20th century Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
