    Enemy, Rival, Frog The influence of history on the portrayal of the Dutch in late seventeenth- century English literature BA Thesis Anna Zweers Supervisor: Dr. M. Corporaal Date: 15 June, 2017 Zweers - 1 Abstract: This thesis will look at the way the Dutch are represented in English literature from the Restoration in 1660, taking 1672 as a turning point and looking at texts up to 1685. The focus will be on war, trade and gender, and how Dutch people are portrayed with regards to these three areas. It argues that trade is a theme that is present in all texts written about the Dutch, while the other two themes depend on the subject of the texts. Keywords: seventeenth century, Anglo-Dutch relations, English literature, war, trade, gender Zweers - 2 Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................................................. 3 Chapter 1 – Historical background .......................................................................................................... 7 1.1 – Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 7 1.2 – War & Trade since Restoration .................................................................................................. 7 1.3 – 1672 – 1674 ................................................................................................................................ 9 1.4 – After 1672: War & Trade ........................................................................................................

  • The Roots of Nationalism
    HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES 1 HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES Did nations and nation states exist in the early modern period? In the Jensen (ed.) field of nationalism studies, this question has created a rift between the so-called ‘modernists’, who regard the nation as a quintessentially modern political phenomenon, and the ‘traditionalists’, who believe that nations already began to take shape before the advent of modernity. While the modernist paradigm has been dominant, it has been challenged in recent years by a growing number of case studies that situate the origins of nationalism and nationhood in earlier times. Furthermore, scholars from various disciplines, including anthropology, political history and literary studies, have tried to move beyond this historiographical dichotomy by introducing new approaches. The Roots of Nationalism: National Identity Formation in Early Modern Europe, 1600-1815 challenges current international scholarly views on the formation of national identities, by offering a wide range of contributions which deal with early modern national identity formation from various European perspectives – especially in its cultural manifestations. The Roots of Nationalism Lotte Jensen is Associate Professor of Dutch Literary History at Radboud University, Nijmegen. She has published widely on Dutch historical literature, cultural history and national identity.

  • (Including Background Colour) of a Site That Used to Appear on the British Section of the 'Net'
    This page as well as the various is an exact copy (including background colour) of a site that used to appear on the British section of the 'Net'. For unknown reasons it was discontinued and despite an extensive search at the municipalities of the Medway towns, among Navy institutions and at the former netserver, the source could not be traced. Fortunately the hard copies of all its pages were preserved and are now incorporated in this site. Where a link used to be a document has taken its place and is mentioned as (doc). We regret that no prior permission for this publication could be obtained. The account gives the English point of view of the event, without any editing on the part of our foundation. Wherever references are made to the movements of tide and wind, readers are recommended to study the Dutch version as well, where all tactical movements of the Dutch Fleet are seen in relation to these natural phenomena. THE DUTCH IN THE MEDWAY - 1667. One of the more unfortunate events in the British naval history happened on 12 – 14th June 1667, when a Dutch fleet sailed up the river Medway in Kent and destroyed several British ships laid up ijn Chatham Dockyard, capturing the "Royal Charles" – the pride of the navy, and sinking or burning three other great ships, - the "Royal James," "Royal Oake" and "Loyal London", (see picture above) and a number of others. Samuel Pepys wrote much about this unfortunate event in his Diary. The event was also commemorated more recently by Rudyard Kipling.
