Wanting to offer a stage to Maurice Maeterlinck, whose dramas he admired, Paul Fort created in 1889, with Lugné-Poe, the Théâtre d'Art which became in 1893 the Théâtre de l'œuvre. This theatre helped to reveal the Nordic playwrights Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg to the French public. Note the fine brown paper with a repeated gilt moiré lion. Spine very slightly faded. Superb.
