I read the following classics of Dutch literature from the Middle Ages until 1910:
- Beatrijs; Middle Ages
- Gijsbrecht van Amstel by Joost van den Vondel; 17th century
- Uren dagen maanden jaren, Rhijnvis Feith (Romanticism)
- Max Havelaar, by Multatuli
- De stille kracht, by Louis Couperus
I also wrote a short story in Dutch.
For help with the analysis I used the book Literama by K.J. van der Kerk and H.A. Poolland
This helped me to better understand the literary background.
Also I researched the history of the authors for more context.
I have uploaded a voice recording where I talked in Dutch about my time with Clonlara below. Please choose the one that is suitable for your computer or smartphone.
