CREMER, JAKOBUS JAN (1837-188o) , Dutch novelist, born at Arnhem in September 1837, started
life
  as a painter, but soon exchanged the brush for the pen. The
great
  success of his first novelettes (Betuwsche Novellen and Overbetuwsche Novellen), published about 1855reprinted many times since, and translated into German and Frenchshowed Cremer the wisdom of his new departure. These short stories of Dutch provincial
life
  are written in the quaint dialect of the Betuwe, the large flat Gelderland
island
 , formed by the Rhine, the name recalling the presumed earliest inhabitants, the Batavi. Cremer is strongest in his delineation of
character
 . His picturesque humour, coming out, perhaps, most forcibly in his numerous readings of the Betuwe novelettes, soon procured him the name of the " Dutch Fritz Reuter." In his later novels Cremer abandons both the lahguage and the slight love-stories of the Betuwe, depicting the Dutch life of other centres in the national tongue. The
principal
  are: Anna Rooze (1867), Dokter
Helmond
  en zijn Vrouw (187o),
Hanna
  de Freule (1873), Daniel Sils, &c. Cremer was less successful as a playwright, and his two comedies,
Peasant
  and Nobleman and Emma Bertholt, did not enhance his fame; nor did a volume of poems, published in 1873. He died at the Hague in June 1880. His collected novels have appeared at Leiden. An
English
  novel, founded by Albert Vandam upon Anna Rooze, considered by many his best
work
 , was published in London (1877, 3 vols.) under the title of An Everyday Heroine.
