Introduction: The Special Relationship Between Britain and Belgium

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 1 –15

[There is huge political power in the media. With human memory so shamefully short, the media carry the responsibility of reminding their readers of past alliances and relationships not to be forgotten, of wars that should not be fought again, of young men that gave their lives and were buried in...

British Identity in Belgian Soil

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 17 –42

[This chapter looks at the different meanings of Britishness and Englishness as put forward in recent publications so as to contextualise my own definition of the concept. I then explain my take on nationality in the context of war cemeteries and war casualties by examining the association of...

Waterloo Visitors, the Immediate Aftermath

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 43 –83

[In this chapter, I focus on artists who reacted to the battle of Waterloo by trying to capture the moment in paintings, engravings as well as in texts. Several writers saw it as an absolute necessity to travel across the Channel to see the battlefield for themselves. Walter Scott was one of the...

The Fiction of Belgium

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 85 –109

[After the 1815 battle a large number of authors in search of a subject and some memorable characters revisited the battlefield in fiction and poetry: W. M. Thackeray, D. G. Rossetti, and Frances Trollope. This chapter zooms in on a selection of those narratives that were sometimes less directly...

The Allure of the Middle Ages: The PRB Meet Van Eyck, Inc.

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 111 –139

[The Flemish iconography appealed to Rossetti because it illustrated that tenet which seems to have been a central one to his artistic credo: ut pictora poesis. The late Medieval paintings and illuminations had a strong narrative quality besides picturing and being direct testimonies to a time...

A Royal Example—Creating a European Family

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 141 –172

[This chapter details the relationship between the British and the Belgian monarchy by relying on press cuttings and archival material that convincingly proves the unique closeness between the two royal families. The chapter continues with a comparison between Queen Victoria’s impressions of...

Surrealist Entanglements

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 173 –200

[This chapter spotlights the significant role played by British art collectors and art connoisseurs such as James Weale. It dissects the shared fascination for the grotesque and the surreal among British and Belgian artists which left notable traces in some of the best-known illustrations to...

From Ashes to Soil to Mud

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 201 –220

[This chapter returns more fully to war poetry and especially the context in which First World War poets wrote their poetry, i.e. in a suffocating mudscape. The chapter explains the unique quality of the mud in Flanders’ fields and the different, often comforting roles it assumed in much of the...

“There Is No Art More Exciting Than English Art”: British–Belgian Artistic Liaisons, 1890–1919

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 221 –256

[In this chapter I present a new overview of the network of British and Belgian modernist writers of which Maurice Maeterlinck and Henry James are probably the best known. I also explore at length the network resulting from the friendship between Laurence Binyon and Olivier Destrée leading to a...

Epilogue: The Colour of National Identity

Demoor, Marysa

Pages: 257 –262

[The short epilogue wants to bring the different strands together once more with the help of Maurice Maeterlinck’s notes on the colour of nationalities.]
