About: De Nederlandse poëzie van de 19de en 20ste eeuw in 1000 en enige gedichten

De Nederlandse poëzie van de 19de en 20ste eeuw in 1000 en enige gedichten ("The Dutch poetry of the 19th and 20th century in 1000 and some poems") is a 1979 anthology of Dutch poetry. Compiled by poet and critic Gerrit Komrij and published by Bert Bakker, it quickly became a hotly discussed book and a yardstick for canonicity, nicknamed "The Bible of Dutch poetry". Controversy over Komrij's selection erupted almost immediately and even led to a lawsuit (which was quickly dismissed); it is generally agreed, though, that the anthology has had significant influence on the canon of Dutch poetry.
