Lode Monteyne (1886–1959) was a twentieth-century Belgian Flemish writer who worked in both fiction and drama. His representative work is Geerten Basse. Publicly available information about his life and literary career is limited, and the confirmed details mainly concern his nationality, dates of birth and death, and the genres of his works. The available evidence suggests that his writing was rooted in the language and literary traditions of the Flemish region, spanning both narrative fiction and stage drama and showing an interest in human circumstances and social life. Although the number of his works and the reach of their circulation require further verification, he remains a figure within the twentieth-century Flemish literary landscape, and his works offer a concrete example of the thematic orientation of Flemish-language writing in that period.
