Mon Coeur Pleure D'Autrefois: avec La Chanson d'un jour et L'Annonciatrice

This is the first edition since their original publication in 1889 and 1907 of three collections of poems by a significant member of the Belgian Symbolist school. Le Roy is part of one of the great modern poelic currents, yet his is the only work of his generation’s to be hard to find and inadequately edited. This book, edited by a scholar held in the very highest regard by those working in this field, will include an Introduction covering the literary context; a summary of Le Roy’s life and work; history of publication of the collections, and their reception; literary analysis and assessment; a bibliography.
