Herman Teirlinck Life

Louis Cesar Teirlinck (Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, 24 February 1879 – Beersel-Lot, 4 February 1967) was a Belgian writer.

He was the fifth child and the sole son of Isidoor Teirlinck and Oda van Nieuwenhove, both teachers in Brussels.

He had frail health as an infant and spent a significant amount of his time in Zegelsem (East Flanders) with his paternal grandparents.

He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature six times.

Education

He went to primary school Karel Buls in Brussels from 1886 to 1890. He went to high school at Koninklijk Athenaeum (E: royal athenaeum) in Brussels, where he studied Greek and Latin. Hyppoliet Meert, a Flamingant and language purist, was one of his instructors. He began as a student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 1879, but not as a scholar. He did well in his first year of medicine, but he left the ULB and went to the University of Ghent (RUG) to study Germanic philology; he didn't do well here and left RUG without graduating. Metter Sonnewende (1899) and Verzen (1900) were his first poems. He met Karel van de Woestijne in Ghent, and the pair would remain lifelong friends until Karel van de Woestijne's death in 1929.

Herman Teirlinck Career

Career

He married Mathilde Lauwers in 1902, and the two children, Stella and Leentje Teirlinck, were born together. He was named the civil servant in charge of the Fine Arts in Brussels. Held (1902-1902) and Het & Coveney (E: The Wonderful World) were both published in 1902, followed by Het et a harbinger (1903). He was also co-founder of Vlaanderen (E: Flanders), which succeeded Van nu en straks in 1903 (E: Now and soon). He became the Amsterdam correspondent for Het Handelsblad in 1906. He became more involved in Brussels's city life, and in 1909, he published The Ivoren Aapje (E: Ivory monkey), his first book about Brussels. Het Vlaamsch Tooneel, a 1909 book by Het Vlaamsch Tooneel (E: Flemish theatre), which showed his admiration for Edward Gordon Craig. He moved to Linkebeek, where he, as a liberal, became involved in local politics.

He worked with Ateliers Victor De Cunsel from 1912 to 1926. He also served as secretary of the Wood-industry employers' group, which enabled him to visit Belgian Congo.

Literary career

In the meantime, he continued writing, including with Johan Doxa and De Lemen torens in 1917 and Nieuwe Uilenspiegel in 1922. He was a teacher of Dutch at the Stedelijke Jongensnormaalschool (E: Urban boy teacher school) in Brussels from 1910 to 1936. He taught Dutch at the Akademie voor Kunsten (E:Academy for Fine Arts) in Antwerp from 1925 to 1936, and at the Stedelijke Meisnormaalschool (E: Urban little girl teacher school) in Brussels.

In 1917, he became a member of the Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde (E: Society for Dutch Literature) in Leiden, and in 1919, he became a member of the Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie voor Letterkunde (E:Recording Academy for Language and Literature). His first wife died in 1928. Herman Teirlinck married Johanna Hoofmans of Linkebeek in the same year. They migrated to Beersel's Uwenberg 14 house five years ago.

He became a Flemish educator at the Royal Court of Belgium in 1920; in 1933, he was Private Councillor of King Albert I; and in 1951, Honorary Councillor for Art and Science of King Boudewijn I.

Herman Teirlinck wrote in a typical Flemish style, and he considered Karel van de Woestijne to be his most notable example. This is evident in his work in De doolage's t Bedrijf van den kwade. He was familiar with impressionistic painters, who also had a significant influence on his work. Zon's collection of poems is the best example of this clout. His language became more Dutch and less Flemish over the years.

Herman Teirlinck is the most interested in theatre at this moment. He wrote scripts including De vertragde film (E: Slowed Down Film) (1922), Ik dien (1924) in De man zonder lijf (E: Man without a body) (1925). Some of the plays include De ekster en de galg (1937) and Ave (1938), in which he experimented with new techniques to involve the public more involved in the event.

He explored existentialism in his last literary period, which began with the book Maria Speermalie in 1940. He also considered people's free passionate life, which included its refined over-civilization and its contradicting extremes. He founded the Studio van het Nationaal Toneel in Antwerp in 1946, which would later become the famous Studio Herman Teirlinck. He wanted to see a revival in actor training. He authored the school's basic curriculum for the 48th anniversary of Pointering 48. In 1959, the final basis of the Studio's educational philosophy was laid down. Het Vrije Woord created the Arkprijs in 1951. The unavoidability of destiny was stressed in Het's gevecht (E: The war with the angel). In 1955, Het galgemaal's last novel, Zelfportret, was published, which was an exercise in self-reflection.
