CAMPEN, MICHEL HERMAN VAN
CAMPEN, MICHEL HERMAN VAN (1874–1942), Dutch literary critic. Originally trained as a diamond worker, Van Campen published his first literary work, Bikoerim, a collection of sketches of Amsterdam Jewish life, in 1903. Over the following years he published numerous critical and didactic essays on contemporary Dutch (Jewish) literature in periodicals such as De Gids, De Kroniek, and Het Volk. His work betrays a strong social-realist orientation.
