Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the reception and appropriation of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s works in the Low Countries during the period 1880-1940. This period roughly coincides with the writing career of Willem Kloos (1859-1938), the Dutch poet-critic who monopolised his admiration for Shelley and proclaimed himself to be his only poetical heir. I demonstrate how Kloos’s own poetics and political beliefs made him misrepresent and manipulate key facts in Shelley’s life and literary output during his never-ending promotion of the artistic, as well as spiritual, bond between himself and the English writer. More particularly, Kloos showed great determination in advancing Shelley’s works as a comprehensive endorsement of his own artistic tenets. However, Kloos was not the only Shelley devotee and when the ‘school’ of De Beweging began to claim Shelley for themselves, Kloos, in his periodical De Nieiiwe Gids, attacked what he considered to be their illegitimate annexation attempts. This is most noticeable, I argue, in the translation battle between the two literary camps: Willem Kloos, Karel Herman de Raaf (1871-1948), and Hein Boeken (1861-1933) on the one hand, and Albert Verwey (1865-1937), Alex(ander) Gutteling (1884-1910), and Pieter Nicolaas van Eyck (1887-1954) on the other. The first chapter shows Kloos’s interpretation of Shelley’s work to be firmly rooted in high-Victorian scholarship. The starting-point for this contextualisation is a number of unpublished notes which Kloos made in his early twenties and which have never been examined before. The second chapter demonstrates how a number of dissident voices in the Netherlands took issue with Kloos’s depoliticisation which glossed over an integral part of Shelley’s art. The third and fourth chapters are devoted to Alastor and Prometheus Unbound respectively, and interpret the highly critical and partisan reviews triggered by the rivalling translations of each camp. The fifth chapter examines a series of twelve sonnets in which Kloos describes a visitation of Shelley’s ghost confirming the Dutch poet’s self-proclaimed status as Holland’s principal bard. The ideological assumptions underlying the sonnet cycle are typical of Kloos’s appropriation tactics. The final chapter deals with Shelley’s dramaThe Cenci, De Raaf s translation of it, and the first performance in the Low Countries, which has been completely ignored so far by Shelley specialists. Each nation strung for him her own sweet lyre. And every poet smiled upon his love.

Hietbrink of the Free University of Amsterdam (VU) who alerted me to Verwey’s Baudelaire translations and their interesting genesis. On a more personal note, thanks are due to Jeroen Bosch and Berber Overdijk for their kindness and hospitality: they always made me feel welcome during my visits to the Netherlands. That I am indebted to my parents for their continuous support can only be a vast understatement: I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Dr Kate Davis (University of York) and Dr Sharon Ruston (Keele University) read earlier versions of chapters 4 and 6 and made many useful suggestions. I am much obliged to them. I gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Humanities Research Board (British Academy) who granted me a Postgraduate Studentship to study at University College London. The Graduate School at University College London and the School of European Languages and Cultures at the University of Hull helped to fund my research travels to the Low Countries. I thank the British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS) for the Stephen Copley Memorial Research Award which enabled me to undertake further archival spadework in the Netherlands. As a former student of Stephen’s, I can only hope this thesis will reflect at least some of the intellectual vigour with which he inspired everyone who knew him. I miss him greatly. Finally, I owe a special debt of gratitude to my supervisor at University College London, Prof. Dr. Theo Hermans, for his patience, guidance, and encouragement during my work in progress. His feedback after scrupulous readings of earlier drafts helped me plot a clearer course, and his advice during our conversations together proved invaluable. I could not have wished for a better mentor. Kris Steyaert London, September 2000 Abbreviations Dekker Dekker, G. Die invloed van Keats en Shelley in Nederland gedurende die negentiende eeu.

SELECT LETTERS OF PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD GARNETT NEW YORK D.APPLETON AND COMPANY X, 3, AND 5 BOND STREET MDCCCLXXXIII INTRODUCTION T he publication of a book in the series of which this little volume forms part, implies a claim on its behalf to a perfe&ion of form, as well as an attradiveness of subjeâ:, entitling it to the rank of a recognised English classic. This pretensión can rarely be advanced in favour of familiar letters, written in haste for the information or entertain­ ment of private friends. Such letters are frequently among the most delightful of literary compositions, but the stamp of absolute literary perfe&ion is rarely impressed upon them. The exceptions to this rule, in English literature at least, occur principally in the epistolary litera­ ture of the eighteenth century. Pope and Gray, artificial in their poetry, were not less artificial in genius to Cowper and Gray ; but would their un- their correspondence ; but while in the former premeditated utterances, from a literary point of department of composition they strove to display view, compare with the artifice of their prede­ their art, in the latter their no less successful cessors? The answer is not doubtful. Byron, endeavour was to conceal it. Together with Scott, and Kcats are excellent letter-writers, but Cowper and Walpole, they achieved the feat of their letters are far from possessing the classical imparting a literary value to ordinary topics by impress which they communicated to their poetry.

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.

  • National Trauma and Romantic Illusions in Percy Shelley's the Cenci
    humanities Article National Trauma and Romantic Illusions in Percy Shelley’s The Cenci Lisa Kasmer Department of English, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610, USA; [email protected] Received: 18 March 2019; Accepted: 8 May 2019; Published: 14 May 2019 Abstract: Percy Shelley responded to the 1819 Peterloo Massacre by declaring the government’s response “a bloody murderous oppression.” As Shelley’s language suggests, this was a seminal event in the socially conscious life of the poet. Thereafter, Shelley devoted much of his writing to delineating the sociopolitical milieu of 1819 in political and confrontational works, including The Cenci, a verse drama that I argue portrays the coercive violence implicit in nationalism, or, as I term it, national trauma. In displaying the historical Roman Cenci family in starkly vituperous manner, that is, Shelley reveals his drive to speak to the historical moment, as he creates parallels between the tyranny that the Roman pater familias exhibits toward his family and the repression occurring during the time of emergent nationhood in Hanoverian England, which numerous scholars have addressed. While scholars have noted discrete acts of trauma in The Cenci and other Romantic works, there has been little sustained criticism from the theoretical point of view of trauma theory, which inhabits the intersections of history, cultural memory, and trauma, and which I explore as national trauma. Through The Cenci, Shelley implies that national trauma inheres within British nationhood in the multiple traumas of tyrannical rule, shored up by the nation’s cultural memory and history, instantiated in oppressive ancestral order and patrilineage. Viewing The Cenci from the perspective of national trauma, however, I conclude that Shelley’s revulsion at coercive governance and nationalism loses itself in the contemplation of the beautiful pathos of the effects of national trauma witnessed in Beatrice, as he instead turns to a more traditional national narrative.
