Pieter Cornelis Boutens〔His original family name was changed from Bouters to Boutens by a decision of the District Court of Middelburg, 14 March 1898, Act No. 79〕 (February 20, 1870 – March 14, 1943) was a Dutch poet, classicist, and mystic. Boutens was born in Middelburg. He grew up in Zeeland in a strict, Protestant middle-class environment. After finishing the Gymnasium Middelburg, he began to study classical languages in 1890 at the University of Utrecht, and graduated in 1899 on a study of the Greek comedy writer Aristophanes. His debut as a poet was the ''Utrecht Student Almanac'' in 1891. His early work was inspired by the ''verses'' of Herman Gorter; later sources of inspiration were Plato, Sappho and the Bible. Boutens' style became based on the idea of achieving a "higher reality". In 1894 he accepted the post of teacher of classical languages at the ''Noorthey'' boarding school for boys in Voorschoten, at the time a renowned institute for young people from aristocratic families. After a physical collapse in 1904 and a subsequent holiday in Tyrol, he settled in The Hague, where he earned his living by private tuition and the financial support of some aristocratic friends he had from Noorthey. He became a member of the Association of Writers (founded in 1905), and became its president in 1918. During German occupation in World War II, he also became a member of the Nazi-installed Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer. Boutens died in The Hague. == Works == * 1898 - ''Verzen'' * 1902 - ''Praeludiën'' * 1904 - ''Naenia'' * 1907 - ''Stemmen'' * 1908 - ''Beatrijs'' * 1908 - ''Spel van Platoons leven'' * 1909 - ''Vergeten liedjes'' (''Forgotten songs'') * 1910 - ''Alianora'' * 1912 - ''Carmina'' * 1916 - ''Lente-maan'' * 1919 - ''Strophen uit de nalatenschap van Andries de Hoghe'' * 1920 - ''Sonnetten'' * 1921 - ''Liederen van Isoude'' * 1922 - ''Zomerwolken'' (''Summer Clouds'') * 1926 - ''De sonnetten van Louise Labé'' (''The Sonnets of Louise Labé'') * 1930 - ''Oud-Perzische kwatrijnen'' * 1931 - ''Bezonnen verzen'' * 1932 - ''Honderd Hollandsche kwatrijnen'' * 1932 - ''Strophen en andere verzen uit de nalatenschap van Andries de Hoghe'' * 1942 - ''Tusschenspelen'' * 1942 - ''Gegeven keur'' * 1943-1954 - ''Verzameld werk'' (Collected works) seven volumes, published after his death 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pieter Cornelis Boutens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
