Willem Kloos
Died in 1938
Willem Kloos was born in Amsterdam on 6 May 1859, the son of a tailor; his mother died the following year and his father remarried in 1861. A student of classics in Amsterdam, he became friends with the poet Jacques Perk, whose poems he published in 1882 with an introduction that would become the manifesto of his generation. In 1885 he founded a review with Frederik van Eeden, Albert Verwey, Frank van der Goes and Willem Paap, and edited it from 1893. Married in 1900 to the woman of letters Jeanne Reyneke van Stuwe, he died in The Hague on 31 March 1938.
