Recenzii
'Dekker's book is an important contribution to the new socio-cultural history
which can also be enjoyed by general readers. Written with a light touch, it
should do a good deal to undermine the myth of the humourless Dutch.' -
Peter Burke FBA, Professor of Cultural History, University of Cambridge
'Like all humour of the past, that of seventeenth-century Holland is utterly baffling: too obscure, too topical, too coarse by turns; then again startlingly recognizable, modern, universal. In this insightful analysis of the greatest treasure trove of early modern Dutch jokes, Rudolf Dekker has reconstructed the personalities, issues, virtues, and foibles that occasioned discrete smiles and guffawing laughter in the upper echelons of Dutch society. Dekker's comparative historical approach, which ranges well beyond the Netherlands, restores the currency and the flavour of humour in early modern Europe. He made me laugh, too.' - Mariët Westermann
