Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FEITH, RHIJNVIS (1753-1824) , Dutch poet, was
born
  of an aristocratic family at
Zwolle
 , the
capital
  of the province Overijssel, on the 7th of
February
  1753. He was educated at Harderwijk and at the university of
Leiden
 , where he took his degree in 1770. In 1772 he settled at his birthplace, and married. In 178o, in his twenty-seventh year, he became burgomaster of
Zwolle
 . He built a luxurious villa, which he named Boschwijk, in the out-skirts of the
town
 , and there he lived in the greatest comfort. His first important production was Julia, in 1783, a novel written in emulation of Werther, and steeped in Weltschmerz and despair. This was followed by the tragedy of Thirsa (1784);
Ferdinand
  and Constantia (1785), another Werther novel; and The Patriots (1784), a tragedy. Bilderdijk and other writers attacked his morbid melancholy, and Johannes Kinker (1764-1845) parodied his novels, but his vogue continued. In 1791 he published a tragedy of
Lady
  Jane
Grey
 ; in 1792 a didactic poem, The Grave, in four cantos; in 1793 Inez de
Castro
 ; in 1796 to 1814 five volumes of Odes and Miscellaneous Poems; and in 1802 Old Age, in six cantos. He died at Zwolle on the 8th of
February
  1824.
His works were collected (Rotterdam, II vols.) in 1824, with a biographical notice by N. G. van Kampen.
