  • Literature of the Low Countries
    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • Nature, Landscape and Identity in the Netherlands Indies Literary Constructions of Being Dutch in the Tropics
    SUSIE PROTSCHKY Nature, landscape and identity in the Netherlands Indies Literary constructions of being Dutch in the tropics Recent trends in Indonesian history suggest a fruitful point at which two major fields of research might begin to converge: one is the growing body of litera- ture on environmental history, the other is the abundant scholarship on social history and identity in colonial contexts. Studies of indigenous and colonial land-use patterns, conservation policies and practices, and Asian attitudes toward landscape and nature are some of the recent scholarly sojourns into Indonesia’s colonial past.1 However, few of these studies enlighten us on the attitudes of the governing elite (comprised mainly, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, of Dutch colonists) toward the distinctive landscapes of the tropics and the place of the elite within these landscapes. Social histories of the Netherlands Indies provide a detailed insight into the complex and often fluid relations between Europeans and Asians that were mediated by class, ethnicity and gender. Rarely, however, have social histories taken account of the nexus between nature, landscape and colonial identity – a surprising over- sight, given the quantity of European sources on responses to the Indonesian environment, and given that the very motive for Dutch colonization of the In- dies often centred upon agricultural profits and resource extraction. This ar- ticle uses three colonial novels written during the first half of the twentieth century to examine how Indonesian nature and landscapes, which differed so profoundly from those of the Netherlands, affected the cultural identity of the Dutch in the Indies during the final decades of colonial rule.

In zijn geschiedenis van de Nederlandse poëzie schrijft Redbad Fokkema bijvoorbeeld: [D]e dichters die in de jaren zestig aan het woord kwamen, boekten (...) succes (...) in Gard Sivik (1955-1964), Barbarber (1958-1971) en in De Nieuwe Stijl (1965-1966). Deze tijdschriften ver-tegenwoordigen in Nederland verschillende vormen van het nieuwe realisme, `ontsprongen uit een treffen met de werkelijkheid', zo schreef Hans Sleutelaar. En dit dan in tegenstelling tot de Vijftigers, die poëzie vooral lieten ontspringen aan een treffen met de taal - overigens zonder de werkelijkheid als inspira- tiebron te ontkennen.3 De door Fokkema gesignaleerde oppositie tussen Vijftigers en nieuw-realis- ten is evident. In de poëtica van de Zestigers 4 - in de redactie van Gard Sivik met name gerepresenteerd door Armando, Sleutelaar, Vaandrager en Ver- hagen - is geen ruimte voor moeilijk gebruik van taal en beeldspraak, maar komt een radicale nuchterheid centraal te staan: `Het "niet-poëtische", het alledaagse en banale wordt steeds belangrijker.

Signature: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This thesis is the result of a long and intense process and it would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of a number of people. I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Edward Grasman. Thanks to his patience and guidance throughout this long process and the necessary steering in the right direction when I needed it, I can now finish this project. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Paul van den Akker and Drs. Irmgard Koningsbruggen. My love for Florence began during a school excursion led by these two great teachers, who showed us the secret and not so secret places of Florence, and most importantly, introduced me to the Palazzo Davanzati. Finally, I must express my profound gratitude to my parents and my sister for their love, unfailing belief and continuous encouragement in me during this process, and to my friends, family and roommates, who picked me up when I had fallen down and constantly reminded me that I was able to finish this process.
