Baroness Suzanne Lilar (née Suzanne Verbist; born on May 21, 1901; 92) was a Flemish Belgian essayist, novelist, and playwright writing in French.
She was the mother of writer Françoise Mallet-Joris and art historian Marie Fredericq-Lilar, and the wife of Belgian Minister Albert Lilar. From 1952 to 1992, she was a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature.
Life
Lilar's mother was a middle school teacher, while her father was a railway station master. She spent her youth in Ghent and after a brief first marriage, she and the first woman advocate in Antwerp, where she married Albert Lilar, who would later become Minister of Justice and Minister of State (Liberal Party). Marie Fredericq-Lilar, a writer born in 1930, was the mother of writer Françoise Mallet-Joris (born 1930) and the 18th-century art historian (born 1934). She left Antwerp and moved to Brussels in 1977 after her husband's death in 1976.
Education
Lilar studied philosophy and was the first woman to earn a law degree in 1925. She attended a seminar on Hadewych during her studies. In her later essays, plays, and novels, her interest in the 13th century poet and mystic would play a key role. Lilar's historico-cultural insight, her analysis of consciousness and emotion, her quest for beauty and passion are all relevant and timeless.
Early work
Lilar began her literary career as a journalist, writing about Republican Spain for the newspaper L'Independence belge in 1931. She later became a playwright with Le Burlador (1946), the first reinterpretation of Don Juan's myth from a female perspective that revealed a keen capacity for psychological evaluation. Le Roi lépreux (1951), a neo-Pirandellian play about the Crusades, and Tous les chemins mènent au ciel (1947), a theological drama set in a 14th-century convent.
Literary career
She was a relatively modern writer and feminist who was nevertheless well versed in several aspects of Western thought, with strong logic (Encyclopdia Britannica). Lilar succeeds Gustave Van Zype as a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature in 1956. Her works have been translated in several languages.
