Summary "Geschiedenis der Nederlandsche letterkunde, Deel I" by Gerrit Kalff is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides an in-depth examination of the history of Dutch literature, aiming to fill a gap left by previous comprehensive studies. Its primary focus includes the origins and development of Dutch literary traditions, notably examining early poets, societal influences, and the shifts between paganism and Christianity. The opening of the text introduces the context of Dutch literature, tracing its roots back to ancient times and the mingling of cultures, including the influence of the Romans and Franks. Kalff discusses the existence of early poetic expressions in the form of folk poetry, highlighting figures such as the blind bard Bernlef. He sets the stage for a detailed institutional exploration of how literature evolved through tumultuous historical phases, including the burgeoning of Christianity and the interaction between different peoples, ultimately laying the groundwork for the literary movements that would follow.
