LINDE, Gerrit van de. - DE SCHOOLMEESTER. - De gedichten van den Schoolmeester, uitgegeven door J. van Lennep. 6e druk.

Title: De gedichten van den Schoolmeester, uitgegeven door J. van Lennep. 6e druk.
Description: Amsterdam, Gebroeders Kraay, 1872. 8vo. Original decorated cloth (sl soiled and discoloured). With 300 illustrations by Anth. de Vries. 324 pp. First published in 1859. - The reprints of his only collection of poems was unprecedentedly high. The schoolmaster is unique in the Dutch nineteenth century for his frankness, for his witty and virtuoso use of language, for his loose handling of rules and for the funny way in which he ridicules authorities. He ignores all the lines of poetry of his time and juggles with the language in such a way that completely new images and associations arise.
