Aurelia Zwartte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aurelia Zwartte (baptised 1682) was a Dutch poet.
Aurelia Zwartte was baptised on 22 August 1682 in Groningen, the Netherlands.[1][2] She was the daughter of Hendrik Zwartte, a secretary in Groningen and judge in Bellingwolde, and his wife Titia Verrutius van Wartinga.[3] She married Jacobus van Aelst in the village of Mensigeweer in 1705, then remarried to Justus Johannes van Beilanus in Abcoude, Utrecht, in 1715.[4][5]
When writing a response to an admirer of her her poetry, Zwartte wrote of how she was constantly burdened with household chores and therefore read while she cleaning fish and writing while sewing.[6][7][8]
In her poem Stichtelijke Poëzij (1727), Zwartte referred to fellow Dutch writer Jetske Reinou van der Malen an "excellent poetess."[9] She also urges her husband to Christian patience in all social adversity.[10] The work was dedicated to Maria Louise van Hessen-Kassel, widow of Stadtholder Johan Willem Friso,[10] and it is unknown if she continued to write poetry after 1727.[2]
Zwartte's date of death is uncertain,[6] recorded in some sources as 1768.[2]
