Dutch readers

Dutch reception of women's writing has been taken in particular consideration during the digitizing project of last three years. Inventories have been made, perusing sources which are documented under the heading Sources. Data furnished by these large-scale sources will be analyzed in the upcoming months.

Individual "receivers" (readers, critics, translators, etc.) have in some cases played important roles, or provide interesting cases. Some of them are presented here:

Male readers
Otto van Eck (1780-1798)

Female readers
Elisabeth Wolff-Bekker (1738-1804)
Keetje Hooijer-Bruijns (1817-1886)
Queen Sophie of the Netherlands (1818-1877)
Geertruida Kapteyn-Muysken (1855-1920)
