Maurice Maeterlinck

Maurice Maeterlinck (died 1949 May 6 (Nice, France) at age 86]]) was a Nobel Prize-winner, Belgian poet, playwright. His Pelléas et Mélisande (1892) is considered a masterpiece of Symbolist drama, and, in composer Claude Debussyʼs sensitive musical setting (1902), remains popular in the public eye. He was praised by anarchist critics, such as Octave Mirbeau (whose review first made Maeterlinck famous), and Emma Goldman, who included him in her famed drama lectures.
