Lodewijk Gerard Visscher

Lodewijk Gerard Visscher (born March 1, 1797 in Breda , † January 26, 1859 in Utrecht ) was a Dutch literary scholar and historian.

Life

The eldest son of Teunis Krags Visscher (born January 15, 1769 in Amsterdam; † September 19, 1799 at Schoorldam) and Catharina Dorothea Boellaard (born November 13, 1768 in Meerkerk; † June 7, 1843 in The Hague) had his father lost early. Since his father was killed as a soldier in a battle, his mother married the tax officer Adolphus Bierman on November 10, 1805 in The Hague (born April 15, 1781 in Leerdam, † June 21, 1846 in The Hague). This seems to have had a formative influence on him. Because in 1814 he became a tax officer in The Hague and in 1817 tax inspector in Brussels . Here he was active in literature and campaigned for the introduction of the Dutch language in the Flemish, later Belgian, provinces. After he had published his work Over het herstel en de invoering der Nederlandsche taal , he was appointed professor of Dutch language and literature at the philosophical faculty of the University of Leuven on December 31, 1826 .

He lost his job with the Belgian uprising of 1830. He found a new place of work when, on March 6, 1831, he was appointed adjunct professor of Dutch language, literature and history at the University of Utrecht , which he took on on April 12, 1831. After the death of Adam Simons , he became a full professor of the subject on March 4, 1834 and received an honorary doctorate in philosophy in Utrecht on January 26, 1837. In his capacity as a Utrecht university lecturer, he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1837/38 and 1856/57 . He was also a member of several learned societies of his time. In 1825 he became a member of the Dutch Literature Society in Brussels, in 1826 he became a member of the Society of Dutch Literature in Leiden and in 1828 a corresponding member of the Royal Dutch Institute of Sciences in Amsterdam.
