His one novel, Lidewijde,
See also:BUSS
was written under strong See also:French influences. Returning from the See also:East Indies, Busken-Huet settled for the See also:remainder of his life in See also:Paris, where he died in See also:April 1886. For the last See also:quarter of a See also:century he had been the acknowledged See also:dictator in all questions of Dutch literary See also:taste.

He made it his business to break down the narrow prejudices and the still narrower self-See also:satisfaction of his countrymen, without endangering his See also:influence by a See also:mere effusion of See also:paradox. He was a brilliant writer, who would have been admired in any See also:language, but whose See also:appearance in a literature so stiff and dead as that of Holland in the 'fifties was dazzling enough to produce a sort of See also:awe and stupefaction. The See also:posthumous See also:correspondence of Busken-Huet has been published, and adds to our impression of the vitality and versatility of his mind. (E.
