The Dutch in the Early Modern World: A History of a Global Power

Autor David Onnekink, Gijs Rommelse
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iun 2019
Emerging at the turn of the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic rose to become a powerhouse of economic growth, artistic creativity, military innovation, religious tolerance and intellectual development. This is the first textbook to present this period of early modern Dutch history in a global context. It makes an active use of illustrations, objects, personal stories and anecdotes to present a lively overview of Dutch global history that is solidly grounded in sources and literature. Focusing on themes that resonate with contemporary concerns, such as overseas exploration, war, slavery, migration, identity and racism, this volume charts the multiple ways in which the Dutch were connected with the outside world. It serves as an engaging and accessible introduction to Dutch history as well as a case study in early modern global expansion.

Recenzii

'A clear, fascinating, and comprehensive guide to a truly global Netherlands; setting diplomatic, military, and imperial history in a rich cultural context.' Tony Claydon, University of Bangor
'Vividly written and original in approach, this book is an impressive achievement. Onnekink and Rommelse take a broad view of international history, linking the Dutch Republic's policy in Europe with its trading ventures in Asia, Africa and the Americas. In the process they throw much fresh light on their subject, from the culture of diplomacy to the science of overseas expansion. For all this and more, their account will be widely welcomed.' Hugh Dunthorne, University of Swansea
'A well written narrative of Dutch foreign policy from revolt (1579) to revolution (1795) and set those developments within a wider socio-economic and cultural context. This work represents the best of the New Diplomatic history and fills lacunae in both Dutch and Early Modern European history. A carefully crafted and wittily argued tale, this book is highly recommended.' Linda Frey and Marsha Frey, University of Montana and Kansas State University
'A fast-paced, well-informed account of the rise, decline and fall of the Dutch Republic 1600–1800. It offers many challenging new insights, interweaving as it does the dynamics driving Dutch culture and society with the global maritime power of its merchant empire.' Reinier Salverda, University College London
'It can certainly be useful as a handbook for students.' Joris van den Tol, European History Quarterly
