In 1836, he published the poem Het klavier ("the keyboard"), but he made his actual debut in 1838, with the poems in Bloemen mijner lente ("flowers of my spring"). His initial work was strongly influenced by the English and French Romantic movement, and more specifically by Byron and Lamartine, in contrast to his later poems, which were rather pessimistic. In this trilogy he showed himself to be the best Flemish poet of his generation. In his, now somewhat exalted or melancholic, style he proclaimed his love for the Flemish people and his belief in their future. The Karel Lodewijk Ledeganckstraat in Ghent was named after him. The Ledeganck Campus of sciences of Ghent University is located here.
Karel Lodewijk Ledeganck is recorded as poet, politician, jurist and writer.
