DWB (magazine)
''DW B'' is the oldest literary magazine in Flanders that is still in print. It was first published as ''Dietsche Warande en Belfort'', co-founded by Marie-Elisabeth Belpaire, as a merger between two earlier literary magazines, ''Dietsche Warande'' and ''Het Belfort''. ''Dietsche Warande'' had been established in the Netherlands in 1855 by Joseph Albert Alberdingk Thijm, whose brother Paul had moved it to Flanders in 1887. ''Het Belfort'' was founded in 1886 by Jan Bols. The goal for the foundation of these magazines was to provide a forum for (Dutch-language) Flemish authors, who until then rarely published in Dutch magazines; especially Catholic and West-Flemish authors did not feel at home in the Dutch literary milieu of the nineteenth century. DW B is based in Brussels Brussels (french: Bruxelles or ; nl, Brussel ), officially the Brussels-Capital Region (All text and all but one graphic show the English name as Brussels-Capital Region.)

Yes, a creation inspired by the personal faith of the prophets and apostles; brought forth by the national genius of the Hebrews, which genius both ...

Heinrich Heine
Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (; born Harry Heine; 13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856) was a German poet, writer and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of '' Lieder'' (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose are distinguished by their satirical wit and irony. He is considered a member of the Young Germany movement. His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities—which, however, only added to his fame. He spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris. Early life Childhood and youth Heine was born on 13 December 1797, in Düsseldorf, in what was then the Duchy of Berg, into a Jewish family.

De Gids
''De Gids'' (meaning ''The Guide'' in English) is the oldest Dutch literary periodical still published today. It was founded in 1837 by Everhardus Johannes Potgieter and Christianus Robidé van der Aa.

In 2011, ''De Gids'' ceased operations, but has been taken over as ''De-Gids-nieuwe-stijl'' by ''De Groene Amsterdammer''.

De Nieuwe Gids
''De Nieuwe Gids'' (meaning ''The New Guide'' in English) was a Dutch illustrated literary periodical which was published from 1885 to 1943. It played an important role in promoting the literary movement of the 1880s. Its contents covered a wide range of topics, extending to developments in science. History and profile Around 1880, a group of young writers in Amsterdam, dissatisfied with the existing conservative literary climate, founded the group Flanor, also known as the Tachtigers, and began publishing ''De Nieuwe Gids'' as a vehicle for their work. The first issue appeared on 1 October 1885. The title ''The New Guide'' was intended as a sarcastic anti-tribute to Amsterdam's prevailing literary journal, ''De Gids'' (''The Guide''), which the Tachtigers viewed as old-fashioned and didactic, and which had persistently rejected their submissions. Two of the founding editors and frequent contributors to ''The New Guide'' were the poet and critic Willem Kloos, and the poet, noveli ...

As part of this movement, Kloos criticized mainstream literary style as bookish and overly wrought, and instead sought to write poetry in which the form matched the content, so that intimate experiences should be conveyed with a natural intimacy of expression. Kloos also rejected ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
