| Long abstract | This chapter reviews 12 women writers, 1776-1848, from Belgium and The Netherlands. The Low Countries were occupied by the French starting in 1792, then Belgium was handed to the Dutch for another 15 years; one might expect revolutionary and national sentiment in these writers, and indeed one finds it there, in texts ranging from theatre to verse to a variety of prose genres, notably the novel. |
