Leeuwarder Courant

The Leeuwarder Courant was the first paper in the Dutch province Friesland and its capital Leeuwarden.[4] In fact, during the latter part of the eighteenth century (the period which saw the decline of the Dutch Republic) the paper was criticized for its lack of patriotism.[5] For a long time it was the only medium for advertisements in the region, which helped ensure its commercial success, and until 1842 it was the only serious newspaper in Friesland.[4] In the early to mid nineteenth century, the Leeuwarder Courant began to publish literary reviews.The literary criticism in the Leeuwarder Courant is especially significant since its readership was to be found in the upper circles of Frisian society—the bookbuying public, the notables who were greatly interested in matters of language, literature, and culture, and helped determine their society's tastes and predilections.
