Prose
Prose is a form of written or spoken language that follows the natural flow of speech, uses a language's ordinary grammatical structures, or follows the conventions of formal academic writing. It differs from most traditional poetry, where the form consists of verse (writing in lines) based on rhythmic metre or rhyme. The word "prose" first appears in English in the 14th century. It is derived from the Old French ''prose'', which in turn originates in the Latin expression ''prosa oratio'' (literally, straightforward or direct speech). Works of philosophy, history, economics, etc., journalism, and most fiction (an exception is the verse novel), are examples of works written in prose. Developments in twentieth century literature, including free verse, concrete poetry, and prose poetry, have led to the idea of poetry and prose as two ends on a spectrum rather than firmly distinct from each other.

Bert Schierbeek
Lambertus Roelof (Bert) Schierbeek (18 June 1918, Glanerbrug, Overijssel – 9 June 1996, Amsterdam) was a Dutch writer. He won numerous awards throughout his career, amongst them the 1991 Constantijn Huygens Prize. During the German occupation, Schierbeek was part of the resistance movement; directly after the war (in 1945), he published his first, still conventional novel that dealt with exactly these experiences (translated, this novel reads as ''Terror against terror''). Then, he wrote the first experimental novel in the Dutch language, which was published in 1951. Its title is ''Het boek Ik'' (The Book I) and apparently does not have any narrative structure; it seems to consist of poetic associations of 'loose' words and thoughts. It is the first in a trilogy. The other volumes are ''De andere namen'' (The Other Names) and ''De derde persoon'' (The Third Person). Bert Schierbeek was also part of COBRA, an internationalist artistical movement that intended to renew and mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
