and assisted me during the research that resulted in the present thesis. This includes the staff members of the different libraries and archives who were a great help in guiding me through the large amount of material and providing me with the items I was looking for, and Lieske Tibbe who gave me valuable information on publications I otherwise not would have consulted. I am grateful to my family and friends for their support, especially to those who, as non-art historians, dared to start a conversation about my research. These conversations encouraged me to think about my work from a different perspective and gave me new insights. Furthermore, I would like to thank Sandra Kisters for her accurate and helpful supervision and Annemieke Hoogenboom for being second reader. 4 Introduction The present research master thesis centres on the writings and works of the Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst (1868-1938). The choice of this topic follows from an earlier encounter with the name of Roland Holst in Dublin, where I have been working on the Irish stained glass workshop An Túr Gloine during an internship at the National Gallery of Ireland. While writing a biography of Evie Hone (1894-1955), one of the artists involved in the workshop, I came across a document that mentioned Roland Holst as one of her teachers. This attracted my attention because I was interested in artistic relations between the Netherlands and Ireland. The search for more information on the interaction between Hone and Roland Holst nevertheless reached a dead end quite soon. I found a number of small articles where Roland Holst was described as Hone‟s teacher, an admirer of her work or the person who encouraged her to start working in stained glass, but none of the writers gave detailed information on the relationship between the Dutch and the Irish artist. The only document that proves that there was an association between Hone and Dutch stained glass was an article on Dutch and French stained glass, written by Hone.1 The link between Roland Holst and Ireland only was a literary one. His nephew, the poet Adriaan Roland Holst (1888-1976), was an admirer of the poetry of the Irish poet W.B. Yeats (1865-1939). He introduced his uncle to Yeats‟s work. Roland Holst and his wife Henriette Roland Holst-van der Schalk (1869-1952) shared Adriaan‟s admiration.2 The research concerning the relations between Roland Holst and Hone might have led to nowhere, the stained

  • Henriette Roland Horst, Jacques Engels and the Influence of Class
    ‘More freedom’ or ‘more harmony’? Henriette Roland Holst, Jacques Engels and the influence of class and gender on socialists’ sexual attitudes Paper submitted to the seminar on “Labour organizations and sexuality”, Université de Bourgogne, Dijon 5 October 2001 Peter Drucker1 Sheila Rowbotham once wrote, ‘A radical critical history ... requires a continuing movement between conscious criticism and evidence, a living relationship between questions coming from a radical political movement and the discovery of aspects of the past which would have been ignored within the dominant framework.’2 Her words may apply with particular force to the history of labour organizations and sexuality. Historians can find it easier to find criticisms and questions to raise about the past than to sustain the ‘continuing movement’ required to understand the past in its own terms. The temptation is great to compare positions on sexuality taken in labour organizations in the past with positions held by historians in the present. The result can be either an idealization of sex-radical forbears or a condemnation of those whose ideas fell short of twenty-first-century enlightenment — in either case a curiously old-fashioned sort of history, which benefits little from the advances made by social historians outside ‘the dominant framework’, particularly social historians of sexuality, since the 1970s. Analyzing positions on sexuality taken in labour organizations in the past in the light of knowledge that has been accumulating about social and sexual patterns of their specific periods seems likely to be a more fruitful approach. Four different angles of attack seem particularly likely to be useful.

Deze liet zich onder meer inspireren door de realiteit van het moderne stadsleven. Breitner is vooral bekend geworden als de schilder en fotograaf van het Amsterdamse straatleven. Hendrik Willem Mesdag vroeg Breitner om artillerie en paarden te schilderen op het beroemde levensgrote Panorama Mesdag. Hij leerde het impressionisme kennen in in Parijs. In verhuisde hij naar Amsterdam, waar hij lid werd van de vereniging Arti et Amicitiae. Zijn schilderstijl kenmerkte zich door snelle, virtuoze toetsen, suggestie van beweging en dynamiek en een gedempt palet bruinen. Zijn stadsgezichten en naakten maakten veel indruk in de hoofdstedelijke kunstwereld. Rond begon Breitner met straatfotografie, een genre waarin hij pionier was in Nederland. Ook in zijn talrijke schetsen toont Breitner zich een rake observator van de werkelijkheid. Zijn serie portretten van het model Geesje Kwak baarde veel opzien.

Een nieuwe editie van Willem Kloos’ Verzen en de keuze van een basistekst1 Abstract – For a new edition of the volume of poetry Verzen by Willem Kloos (1859-1938) this article explores the method of choosing a base text for reading editions as that is done today. It seems that the choice is often made by consider- ing four parameters, namely authority, the influence by other persons, the au- thor’s method of working and the literary-historical circumstances. However text editors do not take into account the different representations (or ‘images’) of the author that come with each version. Only when the editor is also aware of that as- pect s/he can make a well-considered choice. 1. Inleiding Voorafgaand aan de verschijning van de vierde druk van Verzen, besliste Willem Kloos (1859-1938) om in zijn debuutbundel, die twee herdrukken zo goed als on- veranderd was gebleven, enkele drastische wijzigingen door te voeren. Ongeveer zeventig pagina’s met gedichten werden geschrapt, de volgorde van de sonnetten werd gewijzigd en de lay-out aangepast aan het eveneens nieuwe boekformaat. Volgens de auteur was de ware oorzaak nu wel duidelijk van de geestelijke strijd die hij zevenendertig jaar tevoren had moeten voeren. Hij vond het daarom niet langer nodig al zijn verzen nog op te nemen aangezien lezers of toekomstige lite- ratuurwetenschappers alles wat ze wilden weten in de vorige edities of de ver- schillende uitgaven van De Nieuwe Gids konden vinden.

  • George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) Was Among the Most Successful Dutch Painters of the Nineteenth Century
    George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) was among the most successful Dutch painters of the nineteenth century. Well known for his paintings of city scenes, a series of young women dressed in kimonos, cavalrymen and horses, Breitner also depicted cats in his sketches, paintings, and photo- graphs. Breitner was a cat lover: cats were always roaming around in his house and in his studio. This book contains a selection of his sketches and photographs of cats. George Hendrik Breitner Born in Rotterdam in 1857, George Hendrik Breitner began his studies at the Academy of Art, The Hague, in 1876. There he met painters of the Hague School who, influenced by the French Barbizon painters, preferred realism to romanticism. Soon known for his ability to paint horses, Breitner was hired by Hendrik Willem Mesdag in 1881 to paint the horses in his renowned panorama painting of Scheveningen, which can still be visited today in a specially built rotund gallery in The Hague. A year later Breitner befriended Vincent van Gogh, with whom he often went sketching in and around The Hague. Attracted by its vibrant artistic and cultural life spurred by a revival of economic growth, Breitner moved to Amsterdam in 1886. Here Breitner captured the city’s street life in many of his paintings. Horses remained an important subject for the artist, but he soon replaced his caval- ry horses with those pulling carts and trams. He often took his sketchbook on his walks through the town and, from around 1890, he would also take his Kodak camera out with him to capture scenes that would find their way into his paintings.

  • Naar Een Heilige Schoonheid Van De Vorm. Willem Kloos’ Poëzieleer En De Praktijk
    NAAR EEN HEILIGE SCHOONHEID VAN DE VORM. WILLEM KLOOS’ POËZIELEER EN DE PRAKTIJK Charlotte CAILLIAU Abstract – In his external poetics up to 1895 Willem Kloos assumes that ‘form and content in poetry are one’. With this axiom Kloos suggests that true art only comes into being when the poet expresses his ideas, intentions and emotions by means of a unique form. However, this is not the only requirement a true artist has to comply with. With regard to the writing process Kloos points out that genuine poetry is born in the mind of the poet. The whole verse, in the right form, is located there and the poet has to write down the lines. On the basis of the study of the genesis of the long, epical fragment Okeanos these considerations about the writing process are first of all compared with Kloos’s actual practice. This comparison shows that Kloos’s practice is a bit more complicated; even he had to fiddle with his verses before he got them published. Furthermore Kloos’s external poetics, with the emphasis on the form, are reviewed in the light of his implied, internal poetics that can be deduced from the genesis of Okeanos. Also internally, the essential words prove to be form and content. However, this is less so in early versions of Okeanos than in later ones, since many of the alterations Kloos made are formal by nature. In zijn studie over het werk van Martinus Nijhoff, Een dichter schreit niet, onderscheidt Wiljan van den Akker in navolging van M.H. Abrams vier soor- ten poëtica’s: de mimetische, de autonomistische, de pragmatische en de expressieve.1 Deze onderverdeling is gebaseerd ‘op een viertal elementen, die in bijna alle beschouwingen over het literaire werk een rol spelen’: het univer- sum, het publiek, het werk en de auteur (Van den Akker 1985, 53).
