De mannen van '80 aan het woord Een onderzoek vaar eenige beginselen van de "Nieuwe-Gids"-school. By: Elias D'Oliveira (1886-1944)
"De mannen van '80 aan het woord" by Elias D'Oliveira is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the principles of the "Nieuwe-Gids" school. The author delves deep into the thoughts and perspectives of the men who were at the forefront of this literary movement in the 19th century, shedding light on their motivations, beliefs, and creative processes. D'Oliveira's research is thorough and meticulous, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the cultural and intellectual climate that gave rise to the "Nieuwe-Gids" school. The book is well-written and engaging, making it accessible to both academics and general readers interested in Dutch literature and cultural history. Overall, "De mannen van '80 aan het woord" is a valuable contribution to the study of Dutch literary traditions and a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, society, and ideology. Highly recommend for those looking to deepen their knowledge of this influential literary movement.
