Edvarts Virza

    Edvarts Virza was a poet, prose writer, and translator who significantly contributed to introducing French culture to a Latvian audience. His early work, particularly the collection „Biķeris“, is often associated with decadence, although the author himself did not explicitly align with this movement. Later, Virza moved away from provocative stylistics, focusing instead on national and patriotic themes. His literary legacy lies in enriching Latvian literature and his translation work, which opened a window to French writing.
