Kunst, vivisectie en het huwelijk. Over Victor van M.G.L. van Loghem (1888)

Abstract - The novel Victor, written by M.G.L. van Loghem, was characterized by his contemporaries as a mixture of conventional and modern, ‘impressionistic' prose. The author succeeded in re-evaluating the theme of Don Juan in connection with a romantic conception of the artist. His reference to a play of Octave Feuillet, Dalila, makes it possible to compare the novel to Busken Huet's Lidewyde.
