Summary "Keur uit zijn Verhalende Gedichten" by Jacob Cats is a collection of narrative poems written in the 17th century. The book showcases the works of Cats, a prominent Dutch poet and storyteller, known for his ability to weave engaging tales that reflect the life and morality of his era. The content likely includes various fables and allegorical stories that convey moral lessons, making it appealing to readers interested in classic literature and the cultural context of early modern Europe. At the start of this work, the introduction outlines the intent to present Jacob Cats primarily as a "dichterlijk verteller," or poetic narrator, emphasizing his role in entertaining and instructing the Dutch public of his time. The opening portion describes Cats' ability to captivate his audience with relatable, delightful stories while also providing moral guidance. It sets the tone for the subsequent poems, which are anticipated to carry themes of personal reflection, societal norms, and wisdom through narrative art. Cats is portrayed as a learned figure, drawing on his extensive knowledge and experiences to create tales that resonate with both the intellect and emotions of his contemporaries.
