Dutch Utopian Satirical Periodical in Parts

[WIBMER, Jean Baptiste Didier]. Utopiaansche Courant. No 1- 12 [all published]. Amsterdam, H. Moolenijzer, Dageraad, den 44 Stoeborn A[nn]o. 5569, 1819.

[together with:] Pleitrede van den schrijver der Utopiaansche Courant. Amsterdam, A. Vink, 1819.

[together with:] Utopiaansche Weekblad. No 1-14 [all published]. Amsterdam, A. Vink, 1820-1821.

Amsterdam, H. Moolenijzer, 1819-21.

Complete run of Wibmer's two satirical political journals, 1. 12 Folio broadsheets, (440 x 265mm), printed in 3 columns (one sideways), woodcut illustration at head; folded and unbound; 2. 8vo ((230 x 140mm), pp. 67, [3] blank, with engraved title; 3. 14 issues, 8vo (226 x 135 mm), continuous numbering, pp. 112, woodcut headpiece.

First edition of the complete run of two very rare Dutch satirical political periodicals. The Utopiaanische Courant, an outspoken, but cleverly disguised satire of the reign of William I of the Netherlands, who had returned from exile after the defeat of Napoleon, was Wibmer's first foray into utopian satire. After it was banned, he continued with the Utopiaanische Weekblad (the Utopian Weekly), again published anonymously. This consists of dialogues between the author and his Utopia- born servant Hans, who fills him in on the latest gossip.

Wibmer cleverly disguises his sharply satirical opinions of the protestant church, the Dutch monarchy of William I., and Dutch politics and society. He hides behind 'fictional' author figures, and cleverly demonstrates the possibilities of political criticism even in the harsh publishing climate of the 1820s.

Wibmer (1792 – 1836), originally trained as a minister of the Walloon Church, and was active as a hack writer, publishing a number of satirical periodicals and pamphlets. When the Utopiaanische Courant was banned, Wibmer owned up to his publication, with the result of being relieved of his church position. He was arrested together with the publisher and the printer Molenijzer and Brouwer) and charged with sedition. He successfully argued that his publication was absurd and had no clear meaning. He was acquitted, but then published his witty defense as Pleitrede (1819), as well as further issues of the Courant and the Weekblad. On 6 April 1820, soon after publication of Weekblad 12 he was arrested again, retried and convicted on a number of counts and sentenced to six years imprisonment. The final two issues (13 and 14) were published after his arrest.

He was released early, in 1825 and then published an account of his second arrest, trial and imprisonment, and continued with his satirical publications.

His clever self defense combines great self-assurance, stressing his dependence on publisher and printer, with his role as an independent who represents important social liberties.

For Wibmer see Laurens Ham, Door Prometheus geboeid (2015), pp. 47-83; Saakes 7 (1819) p. 56, p. 94; Saakes 7 (1819) p. 91 en (1820), p. 98; Knuttel no. 24841; OCLC: no copies outside of the Netherlands.

Description:
112 pp. (incl. photocopies)10 instalments of the very rare Dutch satirical periodical Utopiaansch weekblad, written anonymously by Wibmer in the form of dialogues between the author and the Utopia-born servant Hans, who informs him of the latest gossip. Added is instalment 6 of Wibmer’s similarly absurdist Utopiaansche courant, a periodical that preceded the Weekblad and satirized King Willem I, who had ruled the Low Countries since Napoleon’s defeat in 1815. Both periodicals contain severe but cleverly hidden criticism of Dutch politics, society and circumstances of the day. Wibmer (1792-1836), trained as a minister of the Walloon Church, acknowledged his authorship, leading the church to relieve him of his post. On 8 September 1819, soon after publication of the present instalment 6 of the Courant, Wibmer was arrested along with the publisher and printer (Molenijzer and Brouwer) on various charges, including sedition. He successfully argued that his text had no comprehensible meaning and was… Read More

Description:
Sarasota FL, Sarasota Poetry Theater Press, 2002, trade paperback, 21 pp, Edition not stated, No previous printings noted, Very Good in pictorial card covers. Straight, tight and clean with no markings, small faint stain to front cover, slight corner bumps. Striking in its seamless marriage of common and uncommon speech, something the poet feels is the mark of a great oral poetry. And although this is a written poetry, it comes close to the clarity of oral poetry in that its seemingly ordinary, gossipy speech always hints at something deeper just beneath the surface.

Description:
Langley, B.C., Canada: Omega Publications, 1982 As the title implies, this is a proposed model constitution for Canada, written by a former Social Credit/Progressive Conservative MP and an American constitutional lawyer with Canadian connections. It includes a constitutional history, a critique of the constitution repatriated by Pierre Elliot Trudeau and a proposed replacement. It raises many issues arising in this Covid era, and has a very definite 'Made in Alberta' slant. The text is very clean, square and solid, the cover is rubbed at the edges and has a light crease to the front and a crease and a one inch tear plus crease to the lower back cover.
