Gorter, Herman

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Gorter, Herman (1864-1927)

Dutch poet. An awareness of the transience of natural beauty, supremely expressed in his long poem Mei/May 1889, drove him to the hypersensitive and abstract extremes of De School der Poëzie/The School of Poetry 1897. He later studied Spinoza and Karl Marx, and joined the Communist Party.

Gorter was born at Wormerveer. While studying classics at Leiden he joined the young poets of the movement of 1880 (see Dutch literature).
