A Spirited Exchange: The Wine and Brandy Trade between France and the Dutch Republic in its Atlantic Framework, 1600-1650 de Henriette de Bruyn Kops

A Spirited Exchange: The Wine and Brandy Trade between France and the Dutch Republic in its Atlantic Framework, 1600-1650: The Northern World, cartea 32

Autor Henriette de Bruyn Kops
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 iul 2007
This study bridges economic and social history, and forces a reassessment of four early modern historiographies: Dutch, French, Jewish, and Atlantic. The trade along the North Sea and Atlantic coasts of Europe has been given relatively little attention in comparison with trans-oceanic and Baltic commerce. Wine and brandy were among the key commodities shipped from south-western to northern Europe, so new evidence on the alcohol trade enables us to properly recognize the impact of this sector on the economies of France, the Dutch Republic, and the Atlantic world. Transnational in scope, this book underscores the importance of the interconnecting personal networks of Dutch, Sephardic Jewish, and New Christian merchants along the shores of Europe.

Recenzii

'....a valuable and interesting study of a type of commerce, short-run coastal trade, that historians have tended to neglect. ....an important step in the task of placing intra-European trade into the larger framework of Atlantic commerce'
Gayle K. Brunelle. The American Historical Review, 113:895–896, June 2008

"...an ambitious study of the commercial world of the eastern Atlantic. The book’s scope quickly spills out beyond the relatively simple issue of wine and brandy and grows to include much of the Dutch merchant enterprise along the whole Atlantic coast, from Spain to the Baltic. Professor de Bruyn Kops makes a convincing case that the Dutch had created a vast and intricate network tying together the trade of the whole seaboard and she has probably found as much evidence for it as anyone will."
Thomas Brennan, H-France Review Vol. 9 (October 2009), No. 132, 557-559.

"plus qu’a retablir une hierarchie entre les trois grandes branches du commerce maritime hollandais, de Bruyn Kops vise donc a demontrer leur essentielle complementarite comme leur profonde interdependance. Elle y parvient brillamment, et ouvre du meme coup la voie a une relecture en profondeur des travaux d’historiens aussi eminents que Jan de Vries, Ad Van der Woude et Jonathan Israel"
Mathieu Grenet, European Review of History—Revue europe´enne d’histoire, Vol. 16, No. 4, August 2009, 597–608

“a spirited exchange about history and historical methods. Henriette de Bruyn Kops's work connects conversations across several significant historiographical divides…. a work that shifts between the macro- and micro-levels of conceptualization and perspective and one that constitutes a refreshing attempt to marry the two research traditions in a way that would be palatable to both sides.”
Laura E. Cruz. Review of Kops, Henriette de Bruyn, _A Spirited Exchange: The Wine and Brandy Trade between France and the Dutch Republic in Its Atlantic Framework, 1600-1650_. H-Atlantic, H-Net Reviews. September, 2010. URL: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=30928
