Cyriel Buysse

Cyriel Buysse was born in Nevele, in East Flanders, on 20 September 1859, into a well-to-do family that owned a chicory factory. He left the Ghent athenaeum for the family business and made several trips to the United States from 1886. His aunt, the novelist Virginie Loveling, urged him to write, which he did at twenty-six. A co-founder of Van Nu en Straks in 1893 and of Groot Nederland in 1903, he married a Dutch widow in 1896 and lived between The Hague and Afsnee, near Ghent. He died in Afsnee on 25 July 1932.
