Multatuli

Eduard Douwes Dekker, better known by his pen name Multatuli (from Latin multa tuli, "I have suffered much"), was a Dutch writer famous for his satirical novel, Max Havelaar (1860) in which he denounced the abuses of colonialism in the colony of the Dutch East Indies (today's Indonesia). He is considered one of the Netherlands' greatest authors.

Determined to expose the scandals he had witnessed during his years in the Dutch East Indies, Douwes Dekker began to write newspaper articles and pamphlets. Little notice was taken of these early publications until, in 1860, he published his satirical anticolonialist novel Max Havelaar: The Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company under the pseudonym Multatuli. Douwes Dekker's pen name is derived

G.A. Bredero

Gerbrand Adriaenszoon Bredero (1585–1618) was a 17th century Dutch poet, playwright and rhetorician, best known for his comedic plays and folk poetry. His 1617 play Spaanschen Brabander Jerolimo (The Spanish Brabanter) is considered the greatest Dutch comedy to emerge from the Dutch Golden Age, if not from Dutch literature in general.

Soon after his death, his poems were collected in wildly popular songbooks such as the Geestigh liedt-boecxken (Merry Song Book, 1621), the Groot lied-boeck (Great Song Book, 1622) and the complete works (1638) by the Amsterdam book seller and publisher Cornelis Lodewijcksz. Vander Plasse.

Willem Frederik Hermans

Willem Frederik Hermans is one of the greatest post-war Dutch authors. Before devoting his entire life to writing, Hermans had been teaching Physical Geography at the University of Groningen for many years. He had already started writing and publishing in magazines at a young age. His polemic and provocative style led to a court case as early as 1952. His caustic pieces were compiled in Mandarijnen op zwavelzuur (Mandarines in Sulphuric Acid, 1963), which was reprinted with additions a number of times. It is Hermans’s belief that in order to survive people have to create their own reality. It is inevitable that all these experiences of reality will collide. Language is essential to create order out of chaos and plays an important role in th

Anna Bijns

De vader van Anna Bijns (1493-1575), Jan Bijns, was kousen- (of eigenlijk broeken-)maker en wellicht ook rederijker. Anna bracht haar jeugd door in het huis ‘De Cleyn Wolvinne’ aan de Grote Markt (nu nummer 46). Ze had een zuster, Margriete (geboren in 1495) en een broer, Marten (geboren in 1497). Na het overlijden van vader Bijns in 1516 verkocht Anna’s moeder, Lijsbeth Voochs, het huis aan de Grote Markt om Marten en Margriete hun erfdeel te kunnen uitbetalen. Marten en Anna betrokken samen met hun moeder vervolgens het huis ‘De Patiencie’ in de Keizerstraat. Marten opende er een schooltje waar ook Anna les gaf.

Anna begon wellicht te schrijven aan het einde van de jaren 1510 of het begin van de jaren 1520. Ze onderhield hechte contacten
