Biography

Cyriel Buysse was born on 1859-09-20 in Nevele, Belgium in a well-to-do family. Before he could complete his studies at the Atheneum in Ghent, he joined the family's chicory factory at his father's wish. He married the dutch widow Nelly Dyserinck in 1986 and settled in The Hague in the Netherlands, where in 1897 his son René Cyriel was born. 1859 is a common year starting on Saturday. ... September 20 is the 263rd day of the year (264th in leap years). ... Nevele is a municipality located in the Belgian province of East Flanders. ... This page is about the Belgian city. ... Arms of The Hague The Hague (with capital T; Dutch: Den Haag, or officially s-Gravenhage) is the administrative capital of the Netherlands, located in the west of the country, in the province South Holland of which it is also the capital. ...

At the suggestion of his aunt Virginie Loveling, herself an author, he started writing when he was twenty-six and became known as a naturalist writer in the tradition of Stijn Streuvels, Emile Zola and Guy De Maupassant. Although he had been educated in french, which was not uncommon for sons of wealthy flemings in that era, most of his work would be in flemish. His writing was characterised by a deep sympathy for the common man, whose life he vividly and realistically describes. Stijn Streuvels, born Franciscus (Frank) Petrus Maria Lateur, is a Belgian writer. ... mile Zola (April 2, 1840 - September 29, 1902) was an influential French novelist, the most important example of the literary school of naturalism, and a major figure in the political liberalization of France. ... Guy de Maupassant Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (IPA: ) (5 August 1850 – 6 July 1893) was a popular 19th-century French writer. ...

In 1893 he co-edited the literary periodical Van Nu en Straks together with Prosper Van Langendonck, August Vermeylen en Emmanuel De Bom but left soon afterwards following an argument. In 1903, he co-founded another literary magazine, Groot Nederland together with Louis Couperus en Willem Gerard van Nouhuys which he continued to edit until his death. Louis Marie-Anne Couperus was a Dutch novelist and poet of the late 19th and early 20th Century. ...

During the german occupation of Belgium in the first world war, he remained in the Netherlands. After the armistice, he returned to Belgium where his talent was now widely recognized: he received the state price for literature in 1921, and became a member of the Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie voor Taal- en Letterkunde (royal flemish academy of language and literature) in 1930. In 1932 he became a baron which was then a rare honour for a writer, and ironic given the tone and subject of his books. Baron is a specific title of nobility or a more generic feudal qualification. ...

Cyriel Buysse died on 1932-07-25 in Afsnee, Belgium. 1932 is a leap year starting on a Friday. ... July 25 is the 206th day (207th in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian calendar, with 159 days remaining. ...
