Bernardus Gewin

Born in Rotterdam in 1812 and later dying in Utrecht in 1873, Bernardus Gewin was a Dutch author whose name is mainly linked to Reisontmoetingen van Joachim Polsbroekerwoud en zijne vrienden (1841), the work most often associated with him in modern library and public-domain records.

Biographical reference sources in Dutch literary databases identify him as a writer, and local historical writing notes that he was a contemporary and friend of Nicolaas Beets. That places him within the world of 19th-century Dutch Protestant and literary culture, even if only a small part of his work remains easy to find today.

Reliable portrait information was not clearly available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included here. His reputation now seems to rest less on a large surviving bibliography than on that one noted book and his place in the literary networks of his time.
