The 2014 issue of the Cahiers Isabelle de Charrière / Belle de Zuylen Papers will be presented at the Swiss Embassy in The Hague (Lange Voorhout 42), December 4th 2014, at 4.00 p.m.

  • a comparison between some of Belle van Zuylen/Isabelle de Charrière's French writings and contemporary Dutch publications.

The present Cahier also contains some reporting of the festivities organised by the Genootschap in May 2014, remembering its creation 40 years ago. They took place

  • at the Haarlem Archives (Noord-Hollands Archief), where the archives of the Genootschap were officially handed over to the Archives director,

  • Dr. Margit van der Steen, Researcher in Political History, and President of the Dutch/Belgian Association for Gender History
  • Mr. Carel Alphenaar, theatre actor and responsible for the performance, during the 1990s, of La Parfaite Egalité ou les Tu et les toi
  • Dr. Peter Altena, author of a biography of Gerrit Paape, and of the present article comparing Belle van Zuylen and Paape
  • Ms. Godelieve Bolten, archivist at Haarlem Archives
  • Ms. Lucile van Tuyll van Serooskerken, representing Zuylen Castle.

After this presentation:

Margit van der Steen

  • will comment briefly upon Belle van Zuylen's situation as a woman deciding to write and publish about political affairs;

  • will remember the theatrical enterprise of performing, 23 years ago, in Dutch, Isabelle de Charrière's La Parfaite Egalité ou les Tu et les toi.
