About This Book

A call to emerging Frisian writers urges cultivation of clear, vigorous literary expression to restore the language's dignity. It examines causes of neglect, attributing decline to complacent leadership and to compromises that favor Dutch influence. The author defends artistic freedom and honest criticism as necessary for genuine literary growth and warns against honoring unmerited reputations. He recommends united, determined activism to recover everyday rights for the language, practical local organization, and the removal of obstructive influences. The pamphlet concludes by outlining the movement's aims and the cultural work required to strengthen Frisian literature and public speech.
