Marcellus Emants

Marcellus Emants (12 August 1848 – 14 October 1923) was a Dutch novelist whose work is considered one of the few examples of Dutch Naturalism. His writing is seen as a first step towards the renewing force of the Tachtigers towards modern Dutch literature, a movement which started around the 1880s. His most well-known work is ''A Posthumous Confession'', published in 1894, translated by J. M. Coetzee. Provided by Wikipedia
