How the Maeterlinck Paradise Was Blasted by War
Baron William Thorne-Maeterlinck and Maeterlinck's wife Georgette Leblanc recall the destruction of the Abbey of St. Wandrille in France by German shells during World War I. Madame Maeterlinck, now in London, had organized a new scene for Macbeth inspired by the couple’s lands and happiness. The article contrasts Maeterlinck’s literary peace with the wartime ruin and notes his delayed military service and his wife’s dramatic career.
