Recenzii

"Merwick is unafraid of 'weighing up' the evidence carefully to recapture the 'moral murkiness' that dominated seventeenth-century Netherlanders' efforts... [A] beautifully constructed work."-Australasian Journal of American Studies "Merwick's book is certainly interesting, often beautifully written, but it is also a strong contribution to historical scholarship."-American Historical Review
