Editat de Jan Bloemendal, Frans-Willem Korsten
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 noi 2011
Joost van den Vondel (1587-1679) was the most prolific poet and playwright of his age. During his long life, roughly coinciding with the Dutch Golden Age, he wrote over thirty tragedies. He was a famous figure in political and artistic circles of Amsterdam, a contemporary and acquaintance of Grotius and Rembrandt, and in general well acquainted with Latin humanists, Dutch scholars, authors and Amsterdam burgomasters. He fuelled literary, religious and political debates. His tragedy 'Gysbreght van Aemstel', which was played on the occasion of the opening of the stone city theatre in 1638, was to become the most famous play in Dutch history, and can probably boast holding the record for the longest tradition of annual performance in Europe. In general, Vondel’s texts are literary works in the full sense of the word, complex and inexhaustive; attracting attention throughout the centuries.

Recenzii

“[This book] serves a dual purpose. It is the first comprehensive discussion of Vondel’s drama in English, and it offers a sampling of both more traditional and novel approaches. […] It brings Vondel’s large theatrical output to the attention of Anglophone readers, but does much more than that: by letting the light of theory shine on these plays, the book demonstrates just how rich, fresh, and valuable a writer Vondel remains.”
Theo Hermans, University College London. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 1 (Spring 2013), pp. 345-347.

“this volume manages to present Vondel’s dramatic oeuvre in all its breadth for an international audience. It is a work of reference on the one hand and a research laboratory and forum for debate on the other. To its credit, this volume features the whole spectrum of past and present research on Vondel’s plays and integrates representatives of different methodological and theoretical provenance.”
Maria-Theresia Leuker, University of Cologne. In: Journal of Dutch Literature, Vol. 4, No. 2 (December 2013), pp. 92-102.
