    CHAPTER TWO THE RHETORIC OF THE MARKET The crucial criterion for successful participation in the seventeenth- century Dutch public debate was the establishment of authority. Con- front ed with the limits imposed by convention and censorship, authors had to search for powerful patronage to support their publications and overcome potential opposition. The history behind the œuvre of the brothers De la Court reveals that this was no easy task: though he was initially backed by De Witt and the political establishment, De la Court quickly lost this support after the publication of the Interest van Holland, he was scorned by the public and his works were banned by the church. Yet apart from offfijicial patronage, there was also a second, more powerful way to establish one’s authority and thereby undermine the authority of others: the power of language.1 With their humanist education, the broth- ers De la Court, like all seventeenth-century authors, knew how to apply that power most efffectively thanks to the study of rhetoric. Since antiquity, the teaching and practice of rhetoric had played a cen- tral role in public life, offfering the foremost comprehensive system for the creation and evaluation of speech – and thus, for society’s most important feature: human communication. Famous Roman orators and theorists such as Cicero and Quintilian, who elaborated on a rich Greek rhetorical legacy, left hugely influential treatises that would dominate discussions on the subject for centuries. With the advent of humanism, this rhetorical tradition received new attention and emphasis. In line with the teachings of the classics, rhetoric came to be seen as an essential element of the ideal of a vir bonus dicendi peritus, the virtuous citizen who engages actively in the public life of the polity by eloquently advising his sovereign and instructing his fellow citizens to pursue truth and reason.2 1 See Kevin Sharpe, Reading Revolutions.

  • And the Dutch Tradition of Republicanism Catherine Secretan Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique, Paris
    “True Freedom” and the Dutch Tradition of Republicanism Catherine Secretan Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris POLITICAL DEBATE FILLED A BROAD SPACE IN DUTCH INTELLECTUAL LIFE throughout the seventeenth century. In perhaps no other European country did discussing political issues be- come such common practice. From learned circles to schuitpraatje (“barge talk”), through Cort bewijs (“short demonstrations”) or single sheets of Warachtighe waerschouwinghe (“true warn- ing”), the proofs of political passions expressed verbally are countless. Due to high literacy levels, many ordinary people were able to take part in written debates, and the numerous printers and booksellers in Dutch cities like Amsterdam, Leiden, or Utrecht took full commercial advantage of the favorable situation.1 Hence, the number of texts written in the vernacular instead of Latin grew rapidly—an alarming phenomenon in the eyes of those who thought it unwise to present the common people with controversies that had not been “smoothed over” by scholars.2 With this wealth of printed material, the Dutch were laying the foundation of a public sphere that con- tributed late in the century to the emergence of the Radical Enlightenment. At the same time, this passion for political debate illustrates one of the striking features of Dutch politics through- out the seventeenth century: the constant reinvention of the newly formed state as it rose to be- come an independent republic. 1 Editions of a thousand or more of what are usually called “pamphlets” were not an exception; see Maarten Prak, The Dutch Republic in the Seventeenth Century (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009), 187–88, 225.

This growth began in all of the cities in the Dutch Republic (fig 1) around 1610 and lasted until around mid-century in most of them. This was also true in Leiden, although it ground to a temporary halt in 1631 with the sudden departure of several painters, ushering in a period of artistic stagnation lasting close to a decade. By far the Fig 1.

VII Voorwoord. De firma NIJHOFF verlangde bij de uitgaaf der door ons in systematische orde uitgegeven Verspreide Geschriften van FRUIN registers, die het gebruik daarvan vergemakkelijken zouden voor het publiek. Wij begrepen dat verlangen, maar konden daaraan niet voldoen. Alleen wenschten wij aan het publiek rekenschap te geven, welke werken van FRUIN wij in onze uitgaaf opgenomen hebben, welke wij gemeend hebben te moeten weglaten. Wij hebben dit thans gedaan in het eerste register, dat in dezen bundel is afgedrukt. Deze chronologische lijst van FRUIN's geschriften, samengesteld door den nauwkeurigen ijver van L.D. PETIT, is door eenige vrienden sten en vereerders van FRUIN op zijn 75 verjaardag hem aangeboden, als een monument van zijne vruchtbare werkzaamheid. Zijne bescheidenheid wenschte destijds de uitgaaf niet; zoo is het stuk slechts in zéér beperkten kring verspreid. Wij hebben het thans eenigszins omgewerkt en hier en daar aangevuld, en telkens aangeduid, waar elk stuk in onze uitgaaf te vinden is; als het niet herdrukt werd, is de reden daarvan meestal aangeduid door verwijzing naar eene noot in de uitgaaf zelf. Daarmede achten wij onze werkzaamheid en ook onze verantwoordelijkheid geëindigd. De firma NIJHOFF was echter niet geheel voldaan; zij heeft achter onze chronologische lijst der werken nog Robert Fruin, Verspreide geschriften.

  • Republican Exchanges, C
    Republican Exchanges, c. 1550-c.1850 Newcastle University, 16-18 July 2009 Abstracts SPECULATIVE REPUBLICANISM ‘Republicanism and the English Revolution: George Wither and Sir John Maynard’ John Gurney, Newcastle University In examining the careers and writings of the poet George Wither and the Presbyterian politician Sir John Maynard, this paper will explore some aspects of the at times problematic relationship between republicanism and England’s mid-seventeenth-century Revolution. Wither and Maynard were close collaborators during the Civil War in advancing the cause of the ‘well affected’, but after 1645 their paths diverged. Maynard, steeped in Machiavelli but mindful of the failings of ancient and modern republics, fought hard for a monarchical political settlement and was active in Presbyterian political campaigns against the New Model Army and its political allies. From 1649, Maynard worked closely with the Leveller John Lilburne in orchestrating the campaigns of fenland inhabitants against government-backed drainage schemes, drawing partly on common- law and rights-based arguments but at times also making use of the new Republic’s own propaganda and rhetoric to support his case. Wither, ‘the Poor Man’s Milton’, tends to be portrayed as a republican poet, but it could be argued that his active support for the political experiments of the late 1640s and 1650s owed at least as much to his providentialist world view (and indeed his own material needs) as to any deeper commitment to republican ideas. He was, nevertheless, prepared to flirt with speculative republican constitution building – anticipating aspects of Harrington’s model along the way – and, like Milton, he campaigned to the last to prevent the restoration of monarchy.

  • THE COMMERCIAL COMMONWEALTH the Brothers
    CHAPTER FOUR THE COMMERCIAL COMMONWEALTH The brothers De la Court were still in their mid-twenties when they sought permission from the Leiden court to start an independent textile busi- ness.1 With the establishment of their joint fijirm in March 1645, the broth- ers aimed at a vertical concentration of the various stages of textile manufacturing and trade: they provided the capital for the purchase of pure woollen materials, they set up a central atelier at their own house and a dyeworks where a group of employees processed the wool, and they were themselves responsible for putting the fijinished product on the mar- ket. The De la Courts thus bypassed intermediary producers and traders, and as so-called reders they became the patrons of an entirely self- sufffijicient business that went well beyond the system of ‘small commodity production’ characteristic to the earlier stages of Leiden’s economic development.2 Thanks to their father’s wealth and experience, the broth- ers were able to make the large investments needed for this new, early- capitalist type of entrepreneurship, which was soon to dominate the textile industry in Leiden.3 The fijirm ‘Pieter and Johan de la Court’ would prove to be very success- ful. By the end of the 1650s, it had become a thriving fijirm that manufac- tured and exported cloth and camlet from Leiden all over Europe, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. The brothers’ joint capital amounted to the substantial sum of 76000 guilders, mainly invested in readymade cloth and loans.4 The De la Courts were active at the apogee of the Leiden textile 1 The petition is printed in N.W.
