A notable Belgian novelist; born at Antwerp, May 27, 1854. He first published two volumes of poetry, "Myrtles and Cypresses" and "Poetic Zig-Zags"; then became a newspaper literary critic in Brussels, and wrote a few short stories. His first considerable novel, "The Militia of St. Francis", is a masterly portrayal of Flemish peasant life, especially its naive mystic religiousness. His masterpiece, "New Carthage", paints Antwerp life in its naked actuality. Notable also is "The Fusillades at Mechlin", a story of the peasants' uprising against the French in 1798. In poetry he has developed from romanticism to pronounced realism.
