Rosalie Loveling

Rosalie Loveling (20 March 1834 – 4 May 1875) was a Flemish author of poetry, novels, and essays.

After the death of their father Herman Loveling, the family moved to Ghent where the sisters moved in circles of French-speaking, mainly anti-clerical intelligentsia before eventually returning to Nevele.

She made her literary debut influenced by Klaus Groth, whose 'Trinia' she translated into Dutch.

Together with her sister, she went on to write realistic and descriptive poetry with a romantic undertone.

They also published two collections of essays on life in the rural communities as well as the city bourgeoisie.
