▪ Dutch poet
born c. 1540, , Brecht, near Antwerp [now in Belgium]
died c. 1595, , Antwerp
the first Dutch poet to realize fully the new French Renaissance poetic style in Holland. He also influenced the English and German poets of his time.
Van der Noot went into political exile in 1567, and his first work was published in England—Het bosken (1570 or 1571; “The Little Wood”), a collection of his earliest poetry in the style and form of the Italian poet Petrarch and the French poet Pierre de Ronsard. In 1568 one of his main works had appeared, Het theatre oft toon-neel (“Theatre for Voluptuous Worldlings”), a prose defense of the virtues of Calvinism and a condemnation of the worldliness of Dutch society. It is prefaced by sonnets and epigrams that were translated by Edmund Spenser for an English version.
In van der Noot's unique Renaissance production and main poetical work, the Olympiados epic, he described in clear, unadorned language his dream of an allegorical journey toward his divine love, Olympia. Van der Noot interpolated numerous sonnets in the work, and their German translations are the earliest known instances of the pure sonnet in that language.
