- Abstract
- (en) This previously unpublished study about the war poet associations in Belgium between the First and the Second World Wars is based on disregarded archive material. In order to give the reader a larger context, this paper starts with a brief outline of the situation in France and Germany. It eventually throws light on the Belgian case, where the war poets were mainly linked to two literary journals, namely La Renaissance d’Occident, edited by Maurice Gauchez, and La Revue Nationale, edited by Robert Merget. In a comparative approach, the article will then focus on the reception of war literature in these publications, before considering how nationalist, cosmopolitan and pacifist perceptions prevail. The last two sections are dedicated to the ex-servicemen (Invalides) of Eupen-Malmedy, a region annexed to Belgium in 1920, and to its only war poet, Peter Schmitz.
