The Poetry of St. Titus Brandsma (1881–1942)
Titus Brandsma (1881–1942), Dutch Carmelite and martyr, canonized in 2022, has been widely studied as a journalist, mystic and writer on spirituality. His poetry, however, still remains a relatively understudied part of his work. The purpose of this article is to provide a new evaluative survey of Brandsma’s poetic oeuvre, and to trace the reception of his poetry during his lifetime, and through the post-war period until the present day. One of t…

The Prosociality of Prayer in the Literary Fiction of Felix Timmermans
This paper examines the ways in which Christian prayer in the literary fiction of Felix Timmermans is represented as a spiritual practice that produces behaviour that is prosocial, or in other words, beneficial to others. The authors combine readings of two texts (the short story Triptych of the Three Kings and the novel A Peasant Farmer's Psalm) with insights stemming from recent sociological debates on prayer and prosociality to show how Felix …
A Young Carmelite on Ice Skates. The Early Occasional Poetry of St. Titus Brandsma as a Literary Testimony of His Love of God, Life, and the Family
The recently canonised Dutch Carmelite Titus Brandsma (1881–1942), World War II martyr, mystic, Catholic journalist and historian of spirituality, was also – what is less known – a talented poet. The article recalls his early occasional poetry, written in Dutch and Frisian between 1898 and 1906 for members of his immediate family. Its literary characteristics are presented, demonstrating that this poetry is a valuable testimony to the saint’s vie…

Visualisation in Late-Medieval Franciscan Passion Literature from the Low Countries
Late-medieval devotional literature embraced visualization as a means of providing the reader-devotee with the experience of being a virtual witness during a text-guided meditation. Based on a new reading of Cransken van minnen, a Middle Dutch prayer book from Franciscan milieus, this paper will propose a framework based on the interrelations between visualization and other key aspects pointed out in recent research as significant for understandi…
Het beeld van Polen en de Poolse maatschappij aan de vo- oravond van de Januariopstand (1863/64) in Albrecht Rodenbachs Studenten van Warschau. Poolsche Tafereelen (1879)
Dit artikel onderzoekt het beeld van Polen en de Poolse samenleving onder de Russische deling vóór de Januariopstand tegen de Russen (1863/64) in Albrecht Rodenbachs toneelstuk Studenten van Warschau. Poolsche tafereelen (1879). Een overzicht van Rodenbachs belangstelling voor Polen wordt gevolgd door een analyse van de traditionele wegen die literatuurwetenschappers bewandelen bij de interpretatie van dit drama. Rodenbachs literair beeld van Pol…
From Propaganda to the Denial of Free Speech
This article discusses Anglo-Dutch recusant polemicist and publisher Richard Verstegan’s concern with the misuse of language and its impact on society, reflected in his religious–polemical publications. An analysis of pamphlets ascribed to Verstegan reveals that he acknowledged the existence of a close link between the misuse of power in Elizabethan England and the misuse of language. The former impacted linguistic communication through the foist…
