Maarten Maartens was the literary pseudonym of Jozua Marius Willem van der Poorten Schwartz, a Dutch writer who published in English and achieved considerable prominence in the last decade of the 19th century and the early 20th. Trained in law, he lived in England, Germany and the Netherlands; his fluency in English and connections with the British literary scene helped him enter the publishing markets of the United Kingdom and the United States. His work includes novels, short stories, plays and poetry, most of it set in Dutch society. He published fourteen novels and four short-story collections; among his best-known titles are God's Fool (1892) and The Price of Lis Doris (1909), the latter considered by him to be his most accomplished. Several books were translated into multiple languages, notably German, but the Dutch editions did not achieve commercial success. Settled at Zonheuvel, his home in Doorn, he maintained an extensive correspondence and friendships with British authors such as Thomas Hardy and J. M. Barrie, and enjoyed public recognition — he was an honorary member of the Authors' Club and received an honorary doctorate from the University of Aberdeen. After 1914 his fame declined and, following his death, his work gradually fell into obscurity, partly preserved by his daughter's management of his literary estate.
