Georges Rodenbach (1855-1898) born in Tournai, spent most of his time in Ghent and later Paris. He was a typical artist of the decadent period, unfailingly anti-bourgeois, solitary, an aesthete suffering some undisclosed malady of the spirit, a palpable ennui or spleen Rodenbach, although primarily a poet, is remembered today for his two novels set in Bruges; Bruges-la-Morte(1892) and The Bells of Bruges(1897) both translated for Dedalus by Mike Mitchell.
