Summary "The Spell of Flanders" by Edward Neville Vose is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles a pilgrimage through the northern provinces of Belgium, specifically Flanders, and is set just prior to the outbreak of the Great War. The author presents a tapestry of the region's history, legends, and art, highlighting the rich cultural heritage and the impact of historical events on the towns and landscapes of Flanders. At the start of the text, the narrative unfolds with a group of four travelers—the Professor, his wife, the narrator and his spouse—who discuss their planned vacation to Flanders. The Professor emphasizes Flanders' historical significance and its lesser-known status among European travel destinations, while the group explores the connection between the past and their imminent visit. Through dialogue, they outline their intent to discover both history and the unique artistry of the region, from the famed tapestries to the picturesque towns steeped in gothic architecture. This opening establishes not only the characters and their dynamic but also sets the stage for a journey filled with exploration and an appreciation for the beauty of Flanders, juxtaposed against the looming backdrop of impending turmoil from the war.
