Spirit of Resistance
The first book to offer a complete story of the extraordinary proliferation of Dutch clandestine literature under the Nazi occupation. Clandestine literature was published in all countries under Nazi occupation, but nowhere else did it flourish as it did in the Netherlands. This raises important questions: What was the content of this literature? What were the risks of writing, printing, selling, and buying it? And why the Netherlands? Traditionally, the combative Dutch "spirit of resistance" has been cited, a reaction not only to German oppression but to German propaganda: while the Germans hoped to build bonds with their "Germanic" Dutch "brothers," clandestine literature insisted on their...
Microhistory and the Picaresque Novel
In the sixteenth century, the picaresque novel introduced marginal figures (wanderers, beggars and thieves) as the protagonists of elaborate prose narratives, thus appearing to give a voice to hitherto unrepresented social types. This raises several questions as to the referentiality of the picaresque text, pertinent both to historians and literary scholars alike. Microhistory can help investigate this referentiality of the picaresque text, by revealing how particular historical agents perceived marginals and marginality, and juxtaposing these agent perspectives to the literary representation. Microhistory and the Picaresque Novel is the first publication to combine scholarship on the picare...
Fear of Theory
Listen to the podcast here. Recent academic historiography has seen a profusion of theoretical perspectives on biography, both analytical and descriptive. Yet many biographers still fear ‘theory’ as antithetical to accessible narration of real lives. This volume presents eighteen essays by more than a dozen scholars and practitioners from Australia, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Hungary, Iceland, and the United States who seek to banish such fear. Writing with candor, wide experience and familiarity with modern teaching, they examine the riches greeting the biographer willing to think more deeply about biography: its inner workings and rationale in a world still hungry for fact and truth. Contributors are: Nigel Hamilton, Sigurður Gylfi Magnússon, Emma McEwin, Melanie Nolan, Kerstin Maria Pahl, Eric Palmen, Hans Renders, Carl Rollyson, David T. Roth, István M. Szijártó, Jeffrey Tyssens, and David Veltman. See inside the book.

Limburg
Bekend van TV Met een voorwoord van Winfried Baijens Rijk geïllustreerd, o.a. met beelden uit de tv-serie Vijftig jaar na het sluiten van de laatste kolenmijn in Limburg gaan schrijvers Daan Doesborgh en Olivier Willemsen op zoek naar de ziel van het diepe Zuiden van Nederland. Wat maakt de provincie zo eigen? Is het de taal, het veelzijdige landschap? En welke onuitwisbare sporen heeft het roemrijke mijnverleden getrokken nu het stof goed en wel is neergedaald? Het resultaat is een veelzijdig portret van een bijzondere landstreek. Een verhaal over koempels en kameraadschap, over armoede en stoflongen, maar ook over de vastelaovend, het Limburgs en bourgondisch leven.
