About this person
Albertus Petrus Josephus Mansuetus Ferdinandus "Albrecht" Rodenbach was a Flemish poet, and a leader in the revival of Flemish literature, or "Flemish movement", that occurred in the late 19th century. He is more noteworthy as a symbol of the Flemish movement than for his actual activities, since he died at the age of 23. Hugo Verriest called Rodenbach "the poet, the soul, the heart, the mind, the word of Reborn Flanders".
