Charles Van Lerberghe
Died in 1907
Charles Van Lerberghe was born in Ghent on 21 October 1861 into a middle-class family. His guardian was an uncle of Maeterlinck, whose schoolmate he was at the Collège Sainte-Barbe along with Grégoire Le Roy. In 1886 Rodenbach opened the magazine La Jeune Belgique to him, and a short play of 1889 is regarded as the first Symbolist work of the theatre. A doctor of philosophy and letters of the Université libre de Bruxelles in 1894, he made a two-year journey across Europe and lived for a time in Bouillon, in the Ardennes. He died in Brussels on 26 October 1907.
