A. van der (Alida) Flier

Active in Dutch literary culture around the turn of the 20th century, this author published under the name A. van der Flier. The available records confirm works in several forms: essays and articles in periodicals, including pieces on glass painting, gobelins, clocks, and storytelling, as well as fiction.

The Digital Library for Dutch Literature lists books including In den strijd. Herinneringen van een Transvaalschen jongen (1900) and Overwonnen door geweld (1905), along with shorter works published in magazines between 1894 and 1920. Project Gutenberg identifies her as Alida van der Flier (1860–1920) and has preserved Toen de duisternis dreigde..., a historical novel that helped keep her name accessible to modern readers.

Detailed personal biographical information appears to be scarce online, so the clearest picture comes through the writing itself: an author interested in history, culture, religion, and moral conflict, and one who wrote for readers of both periodicals and books.
