Schandaal in Holland
De enige historische roman van E. du Perron.Onno Zwier van Haren (1713-1779) is kamerheer van en goed bevriend met Prins Willem IV. De Friese edelman heeft grote invloed in Den Haag, maar als er geruchten opduiken over een incestueuze relatie die hij zou onderhouden met zijn dochter wankelt zijn troon. 'Schandaal in Holland' is een historische roman met groot respect voor de feiten. Du Perron bedoelde het boek als het eerste in een reeks historische episodes, 'De onzekeren' genaamd, maar het bleef bij dit ene boek. De auteur focust sterk op de rol van de vrije wil in de loop der gebeurtenissen, waardoor de roman ook een filosofisch kantje krijgt. -

About the author
E. du Perron
40 books4 followersCharles Edgar du Perron (1899–1940) was an influential Dutch literary critic, novelist and poet of Indo-European descent. He is best known for his acclaimed modernist masterpiece Land van herkomst (Land of origin, 1935). Together with Menno ter Braak and Maurice Roelants he founded the short-lived but influential literary magazine Forum in 1932.
Du Perron came from a noble family that had been based in the Dutch East Indies for generations. He grew up on Java and moved to Europe after the First World War, where he lived in Paris and Brussels. In 1922, Du Perron moved to Montmartre where he led a bohemian life and became acquainted with painters and writers of that time. His first book, Manuscrit trouvé dans une poche (1923), was published in 1923.
As a poet, Du Perron published several collections, of which Parlando (1930) became the best known. His poetry and poetic views inspired an entire generation, such as the entire later Criterium group, including Gerard den Brabander, Jac. van Hattum and Ed. Hoornik
