Timeline

1905

Ida Gerhardt (11 May 1905, Gorinchem – 15 August 1997, Warnsveld) was a classicist and Dutch poet of a post-symbolist tradition.

In her hometown Rotterdam Ida Gerhardt attended the Erasmus Gymnasium, where the poet J.H. Leopold was her Classics Teacher.

He made an indelible impression on her.

There she also met her future life partner Marie H. van der Zeyde.

1924

From 1924 to 1933 Gerhardt studied classical languages, first in Leiden and later in Utrecht.

1940

Just before the outbreak of World War II in May 1940, Ida Gerhardt made her debut with her first collection of poems, Kosmos.

Her poems are characterized by a special focus on nature and landscape, especially the landscapes of the rivers Merwede, Waal, Lek and IJssel.

Formed by her classical education and inspired by Christian beliefs, she does not confine to landscape descriptions, but always looks for kosmos, the unity in and of all creation.

In her view there is meaning in nature and it is the poet's sacred duty to uncover this.

Every poem is a complex network, full of sometimes mysterious relations between words, elements of nature, personal (even private) experiences, and the higher reality.

Therefore, her work is often classified as symbolist or post-symbolist.

Gerhardt's poetry was published when another poetics prevailed, which meant that her poetry in official criticism remained in the shadow.

1942

In 1942 she graduated cum laude on the translation of Lucretius' De rerum natura, Books I and V. From 1937 she was a teacher in Groningen, then in Kampen.

1963

1970

A real appreciation of her work emerged from 1970 onwards.

1972

She also received recognition for her careful translation of the Psalms, which she made together with her friend, Marie H. van der Zeyde (1972).

For her Latin translations of Virgil she received the prestigious Martinus Nijhoff Award.

1979

In 1979 she received the Award for Mastership from the Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde, in 1980 the P.C. Hooftprijs.

1980
