La réception du régionalisme dans l’œuvre de Georges Eekhoud. Le cas des Dernières Kermesses (1920)
Author
Abstract
During his long career as a writer and activist, Georges Eekhoud (1854­1927) dedicated himself to adopting and defending several aesthetic and politi­cal positions. As a writer, he penned both regionalist literature and scandalouswritings. As an activist, he defended nationalist positions, which he exchangedin 1916 for a left-wing internationalist commitment. What are the conse­quences of reading the literary work of Eekhoud, in particular the texts he pub­lished after 1916? In this contribution, I will tackle this question by means of aclose reading of Dernières Kermesses (1920). The book is presented as a bookwith a “regionalist” mark (the book is the last part of the Kermesses trilogy)whereas it was published when the author already had embraced (political andliterary) “internationalism”.
