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
An "ordinary reader": Otto van Eck (1780-1798)


Female readers
Author: Elisabeth Wolff-Bekker (1738-1804)
Wife of a protestant minister: Keetje Hooijer-Bruijns (1817-1886)
Queen Sophie of the Netherlands (1818-1877)
Translator and author: Geertruida Kapteyn-Muysken (1855-1920)
