Haren, Onno Zwier van (här'en). A Dutch
poet and statesman; born at Leeuwarden,
April 2, 1713; died near Wolvega, Friesland,
Sept. 2, 1772. An active public man
on the
Orange side, he was forced into retirement by
an obscure scandal after the death of Anne,
wife of William IV. , and took to literary work.
His best production is an epic, (The Father-
land, portraying the Dutch struggle for free.
dom. His lyric poetry is good; and a tra-
gedy, William I. ,' is still generally read. His
work on William IV. is a masterpiece of Dutch
prose.
Haren, Willem van. A Dutch poet and
statesman, brother of Onno; born at Leeu-
warden, Feb. 21, 1710; committed suicide in
North Brabant, July 4, 1768. He held import-
ant governmental posts but was ruined by
speculation. His celebrated poem (Leonidas)
(1742) was written to inspire the Hollanders
with his own enthusiasm for liberty and the
war of the Austrian succession. Even more
meritorious are his odes on human happiness
and the vicissitudes of life; but his epic poem

greatest fame.

wit; born at Kelston, near Bath, in 1561; died

of Ariosto's (Orlando Furioso,' undertaken by
command of Queen Elizabeth, is meritorious;

His witty verses in ridicule of his contempo-
raries got him into trouble occasionally, but
never into serious difficulty. He was the Mar-
tial of his day, though of less genius.

he settled on a small Silesian farm solely to
study peasant life. He traveled widely, visit-
ing the United States in 1894. His first play,
(Promethidenlos) (1885), was conventional; but
under Ibsen's inspiration he soon broke away
from the old lines, producing Before Sunrise)
and (A Family Catastrophe, tragedies pre-
senting the genetic conditions of proletarian-
ism. These and subsequent plays have given
him world-wide repute. He has lately turned
to comedy, but (The Weavers) and its suc-

churches in various parts of the Netherlands
for some years.

Jests'), which are now known almost by heart
to the whole Dutch collegiate world. Later

what serious tendency. Among them are: (My

lese Elegies,' satires popular with his country.
In 1855 he was released. He was the
most picturesque figure in the new Czech »
movement. His fierce sarcasm and unsparing
wit were the dread of friend and enemy alike,
and not until he had been dead some years
were the most effective of his epigrams pub-
lished at all. His posthumous poem, (The
Baptism of St. Vladimir,' appeared first in
1877; and later his collected works were pub-
lished at Prague.

tional theory of music; (Thoughts for the

an obscure scandal after the death of Anne,
wife of William IV. , and took to literary work.
His best production is an epic, (The Father-

dom. His lyric poetry is good; and a tra-
gedy, William I. ,' is still generally read. His
work on William IV. is a masterpiece of Dutch
prose.

statesman, brother of Onno; born at Leeu-
warden, Feb. 21, 1710; committed suicide in

ant governmental posts but was ruined by
speculation. His celebrated poem (Leonidas)
(1742) was written to inspire the Hollanders

Friso, despite imperfections, won him his
greatest fame.

of Ariosto's (Orlando Furioso,' undertaken by
command of Queen Elizabeth, is meritorious;
but his talent displayed itself best in epigram.
His witty verses in ridicule of his contempo-
raries got him into trouble occasionally, but
never into serious difficulty. He was the Mar-
tial of his day, though of less genius.
