Herman Heijermans (3 December 1864 – 22 November 1924), was a Dutch playwright, novelist and sketch story writer, who is considered to be the greatest Dutch dramatist of the modern era.

Heijermans began his literary career in 1893 as a theater critic for De Telegraaf. His fierce criticisms often stirred controversy. Heijermans soon decided to start writing plays himself, most of which revolved around social and ethical issues. His first big success, Ghetto, is set in the Orthodox Jewish community of rag merchants, while his most successful play, Op hoop van Zegen (The Good Hope) was a strong indictment of the exploitation of Dutch fishermen.

Quotes by Herman Heijermans (?)

“Het is wijzer niet te eten, dan met 'n hongerige maag van iets te próéven.”

“Het echte, waarachtige leven is over de heele wereld zoowat hetzelfde, maar om het telkens nieuw, anders en in zijn grootschheid dieper, inniger te voelen, moet je je af en toe verplaatsen. Lang, lang op dezelfde plaats, zonder afwisseling, zonder prikkel, zonder nijpender schakel aan je gemeenschap, word je vadzig, let je minder op, begin je je aan de eigen, ontaardende ik-dingen te wennen. Een schrijver, in zulk een periode van zijn bestaan, zakt den weg, die naar het decadente voert, af.”

“In Holland is ’t schrijven van ’n oorspronkelijk stuk een misdaad. Men valt er op aan, als havikken op ’n kreng. Ieder sleurt ’n brokje mee, tot ’n kaalgevreten skelet overblijft. Dat was zo. Dat zal zo zijn: omdat Holland klein is, omdat improduktieve menschen op ’t gebied van venijn ultra-produktief zijn.”
― Herman Heijermans
