Biography[edit]

He studied at the gymnasium in The Hague and then at the University of Dijon. He was literary and artistic journalist, editor of a weekly magazine. He received the Constantijn Huygens Prize in 1958 and the P. C. Hooft Award in 1960. He was the president of the Dutch Pen Club. From 1962 to 1965, van Vriesland was President of PEN International, the worldwide association of writers.
