Marcellus Emants (Voorburg, August 12 1848Baden (Switzerland), October 14 1923) was a Dutch writer. He is one of the few examples of naturalists of the Dutch literature and regarded as a forerunner of the Tachtigers. His best known book is Een nagelaten bekentenis from 1894.

Life

His third marriage was with German actress Jenny Kuhn which begot one daughter, Eva Clara Jenny (July 14 1909 's Gravenhage, August 8 1985 Velp), who went on to call herself Lilith, after her father' novella-like poem of the same name. [1] [Apr 2007]

A Posthumous Confession (1894)

Een Nagelaten Bekentenis (1894) is categorized in Belgium as naturalistic literature, but as is evident from the book cover of an early German translation (Bekenntnisse Eines Dekadenten) it is categorized in Germany as decadent literature. The novel was translated by J. M. Coetzee in 1976 as A Posthumous Confession.

The Movement of 1880

A group of young men collected around the name Tachtigers. They were joined by a Marcellus Emants who was somewhat older than themselves. Emants had written a symbolical poem called "Lilith" in 1879 that had been stigmatised as audacious and meaningless; encouraged by the admiration of his juniors, Emants published in 1881 a treatise in the form of a novel in which the first open attack was made on the old school.
