Conrad Busken Huet
Conrad Busken Huet (born December 28, 1826 in The Hague , † May 1, 1886 in Paris ) was a Dutch writer and critic.
He worked as a preacher in Haarlem , but, as a result of the entanglements in which his liberal direction had led him, resigned his position and devoted himself entirely to literature. He had already made himself known as a critic in the theological field through his letters over den bijbel and polemical fragments and as a novelist through Groen en rijp and Overdrukjes ; now he appeared in De Gids magazine as a literary critic who relentlessly scourged everything mediocre and demanding in literature. His mostly masterful essays of this kind have been published collectively under the titles: Litterarian fantasien en kritieken (Haarl. 1868 to 1887, 23 vol.) And Nederlandsche belletrie (das. 1857–76, 3 vol.). In addition to descriptions of his travels in Italy , France and Belgium and art historical writings, such as Het land van Rubens (2nd edition, Amsterdam 1881), Het land van Rembrand (Haarl. 1883; German von Mohr, Leipz. 1886), he published the novel Lidewijde (1868; German by Glaser, Braunschw. 1874). After a stay in Batavia , where he edited the newspaper Java-bode , he lived in Paris , where he died in May 1886.
