  • Literature of the Low Countries
    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • Tribunist’ Current (1900–14)
    chapter 1 Origins and Formation of the ‘Tribunist’ Current (1900–14) 1 Religion, Capitalism and Colonial Empire: From the ‘Golden Age’ to the Decline The Netherlands has been seen by some Marxists as the site of the first ‘bour- geois revolution’ in the sixteenth century. This revolution against ‘feudalism’ started with the insurrection of the Hondschoote weavers in 1566. Its outbreak was in fact the product of complex historical factors. The birth of the Netherlands as a union of seven provinces coincided with the Calvinist revolt against Spain and the Catholic Church. Riots (Beelden- storm) in which iconoclastic mobs destroyed images and statues in Catholic churches spread across the Low Countries. In reaction, Philip ii sent Spanish troops commanded by the Duke of Alva, which imposed a bloody reign of ter- ror. In 1568 began the Eighty Years’ War against Spain. During this conflict, the Prince of Orange William the Silent, as Stadtholder, played an important role as one of the leaders of the revolt for sixteen years. The war lasted until the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. As the southern Catholic provinces reaffirmed their loy- alty to the Habsburg Empire, the Dutch northern provinces – Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, Overijssel, Drenthe, Friesland and Groningen – avowed their determination to resist the absolutism of Philip ii, who refused to tolerate a Calvinist enclave in the Spanish Empire, not to mention a dangerous com- mercial rival on the oceans. In 1581, the Dutch provinces joined together in the Union of Utrecht (the name of an anti-Spanish alliance founded in 1579) and proclaimed their independence.

The representatives-on-mission with the Army of the North, reporting back to Paris after the conquest of the Dutch Republic in January 1795.1 Abstract Just over one decade ago, Pierre Branda published a study of Napoleonic public finance. The study marks a turning point in the historiography of Napoleonic war financing because, through relying on well-researched quantitative data, Branda lays to rest the long-held myth that Napoleon ‘made war pay for war’. However, the Franco-centric conceptualization of Napoleonic resource extraction and the tempo- ral delineation have resulted in a prism that omits certain sources of revenue. This omission has a bearing on Branda’s overall assessment of Napoleonic war financing. Through exploring French resource extraction in the Netherlands through forcing the Dutch to pay for the maintenance of a French contingent, this article builds on Branda’s work to shed a new light on the success of Napoleonic resource extraction and war financing.

  • Poor Relief in the Dutch Republic and the Case of Berkel En Rodenrijs, 1745-1812’
    François Janse van Rensburg Student no. 5499313 ‘Poor Relief in the Dutch Republic and the Case of Berkel en Rodenrijs, 1745-1812’ Submission on 17 August 2015 Abstract: During the early modern period the poor relief systems of the Dutch Republic were the most elaborate and generous forms of poor relief found anywhere in the world. Poor relief in the Dutch Republic was provided by a myriad of different organizations including churches, civic governments, guilds, private institutions of poor relief, and semi-public administrative boards. Although civic governments played an important role in the provision of poor relief, it remained a limited role and civic governments preferred to delegate responsibility over poor relief to existing institutions. Provincial governments, aside from Friesland, and the national government of the Dutch Republic played even less of a role in the provision of poor relief. The Dutch Republic resisted most attempts at centralized control over poor relief, even as other cities and eventually countries in Europe reformed their own poor relief systems to come under state control. According to the influential theorist, Abram de Swaan, this lack of centralization should have resulted in a complete collapse of Dutch poor relief systems. However, as later scholars have argued, Dutch poor relief systems thrived and survived without coming under direct state control until the 20th century. In light of the failure of De Swaan’s model, alternative models of poor relief in the Dutch Republic have been proposed, but a universally accepted theory has not yet emerged, partially as a result of several insufficiently studied themes in poor relief in the Dutch Republic.

Historians of the country point with pride to the old Flemish school patronized by the wealthy burghers, and from the long list of great artists we will mention the following names : the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, and Quentin Matsys, all of whom lived before the Reformation, the last one being a con- temporary of Luther ; and Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and David Teniers, the stars of Flemish art after the Reformation but the greatest among them is Peter Paul Rubens. After Charlemagne the country was divided into a number of feudal principalities among which Flanders was the most prominent, so as to enable the counts of Flanders to acquire the territories of their weaker neighbors. Before the time of the Reformation Hol- land and Belgium developed together, as they formed practically one country, known as the Netherlands. The line of the counts of Flanders died out in 1384, the last one of them leaving a daughter who was married to Charles the Bold of Burgundy. Times were favorable ; commerce and trade developed ; and the dukes patronized artists ; all of which resulted in the first golden age of Flemish art. But in time new conditions arose ; Mary of Burgundy, the daugh- ter of Charles the Bold, married Maximilian of Hapsburg, later on Emperor, who in 1477 inherited the Netherlands ; and when Maxi- milian's grandson, Emperor Charles V, retired into a monastery in 1556, he divided his extended possessions into two parts.

Conclusion 66 Appendix 71 Bibliography 73 2 1. Introduction In October 1811, Napoleon Bonaparte visited Amsterdam, the capital of the Dutch territory which he had recently incorporated. There, he resided in the Palace on the Dam, signing documents and receiving visitors. He attended a performance at the Leidseplein theatre and a ball in the concert hall Felix Meritis. Although Dutch citizens may not have treated him with hostility, the Dutch weather did. It was cold and rainy, and after the visit, half of Napoleon’s company returned to Paris with the flu. This story was recounted in a local Amsterdam newspaper at the time of the exhibition Alexander, Napoleon & Joséphine in 2015 in the Hermitage Amsterdam.1 This article and the exhibition are a part of a recent increase in public attention on Napoleon and the so-called Batavian-French period of Dutch history (1795- 1813). The reason for this is clear. In 2015, the Netherlands celebrate its bicentennial as a kingdom. The founding of the Netherlands was a direct result of the Napoleonic wars and the rearrangement of European borders at the Congress of Vienna in 1814-1815. The United Kingdom of the Netherlands that was formed in 1815 comprised the present states of the Netherlands and Belgium.2 William Frederick, son of the last stadholder William V, was crowned king, becoming William I.
