Potgieter and Busken Huet
______________________________________________________________________
The letters exchanged between these two leading Dutch critics have been approached in this project with the help of Olf Praamstra's, Repertorium op de brieven van Conrad Busken Huet (Amsterdam, 1987). They contain 46 comments on women authors: the first to be mentioned in 1859 is Geertruida Bosboom-Toussaint, who at present has her place in the literary canon, and was a good friend of the two men; the last, in 1875, is Mrs Sloot, who wrote under the pseudonym of "Melati of Java", a celebrity at the time and now more or less forgotten.
