de Rotterdamse Woelreus
13 september 1720... aan de Kralingse Oudedijk, in Leeuwenburg, resideert 'kasteelheer' Jacob Campo Weyerman als Rotterdamsche Hermes. Dit 'Monster aan de Maze', kwelgeest van professie, beheerst met een scherpe pen zijn omgeving en bespot mens en wereld. Hij voert ons door Kralingen en Rotterdam, door de Republiek en de buurlanden, kwistig strooiend met schimpscheuten. Maar wie bereid is tot nader vorsen, treft daaronder een schat aan feiten en meningen. Over die rijkdommen gaat dit boek. Het geeft een beeld van wat Weyermans eerste periodiek, de Rotterdamsche Hermes, oproept én verbergt. We zien zijn alter ego, Hermes, in Rotterdamse kroegen en koffiehuizen, schimpend op kooplieden, windhandelaars en kunstenaars. Niets en niemand ontkomt aan zijn venijnige satire: Rooms-katholieken noch quakers, orthodoxen noch vrijdenkers, artsen noch kwakzalvers, dichters noch acteurs, immigranten noch autochtonen. Dit boek ontmaskert de Rotterdamsche Hermes als een rijke bron van kennis over het verleden en een kleurrijk vuurwerk van taal. Het boek is geïllustreerd en telt 597 pagina's, ontsloten door een uitvoerige index van 31 bladzijden.

Lettering Young Readers in the Dutch Enlightenment
'This book presents a rigorous, hugely informative analysis of the early history of Dutch children’s literature, pedagogical developments and emerging family formations. Thoroughly researched, Dietz’s study will be essential for historians of eighteenth-century childhood, education and children’s books, both in the Dutch context and more widely.’ — Matthew Grenby, Newcastle University, UK. ‘A rich, informative, well-documented and effectively illustrated discussion of the ways Dutch eighteenth-century educators tried to transform youth into responsible readers. It does so in a wide international context and masterfully connects this process to the radical politicization and de-po...

Schooling and the Making of Citizens in the Long Nineteenth Century
This book is a comparative history that explores the social, cultural, and political formation of the modern nation through the construction of public schooling. It asks how modern school systems arose in a variety of different republics and non-republics across four continents during the period from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. The authors begin with the republican preoccupation with civic virtue – the need to overcome self-interest in order to take up the common interest – which requires a form of education that can produce individuals who are capable of self-guided rational action for the public good. They then ask how these educational preoccupations le...

The Pure Language of the Heart
This is the first book-length study of Sentimentalism in the Netherlands. Taking for its starting point the polemic between Rhijnvis Feith, the champion of the Dutch Sentimental vogue, and his chief opponent Willem Emmery de Perponcher (a polemic that lasted from 1786 to 1789), the author places the Dutch debate over Sentimentalism in a wider socio-cultural context. The Dutch had their own version of Sentimentalism. Its specific nature, and the themes that were touched upon in the debate which it evoked, are here described and analysed against the European background of English Sensibility and German Empfindsamkeit. The Pure Language of the Heart also discusses authors such as Elisabeth Maria Post and Jacob Eduard de Witte. It traces the vocabulary of eighteenth-century Dutch sentimental discourse, and contains an extensive bibliography of contemporary material relating to the Sentimental.

The Invention of Pornography, 1500–1800
A collection of ten essays tracing the history and various uses of pornography in early modern Europe. In America today the intense and controversial debate over the censorship of pornography continues to call into question the values of a modern, democratic culture. This ground-breaking collection of ten critical essays traces the history and various uses of pornography in early modern Europe, offering the historical perspective crucial to understanding current issues of artistic censorship. The essays, by historians and literary theorists, examine how pornography emerged between 1500 and 1800 as a literary practice and a category of knowledge intimately linked to the formative moments of W...
Van Batavia naar Weltevreden
Het Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen, opgericht in 1778, is de voorloper van het Nationaal Museum en de Nationale Bibliotheek van de Republik Indonesia en geldt als de belangrijkste cultureel-wetenschappelijke organisatie van Nederlands-Indië in de VOC-tijd en de koloniale periode. In deze studie naar de vroege geschiedenis van deze eerbiedwaardige instelling komen aan de orde: de oprichting, het programma en het werkterrein van het genootschap, het ledenbestand en de leiding, groei, verval en wederopstanding, maar vooral de relatie tot de overheid van deze formeel private onderneming, die soms eerder een overheidsinstelling leek te worden. Het archief van het Genootschap, dat bewaard wordt in het Nationaal Archief van de Republik Indonesia, is hiertoe de belangrijkste bron geweest. Het is sinds 1878 nauwelijks beschikbaar geweest voor onderzoekers buiten de kring van het genootschap. Voor historici, linguïsten, antropologen, archeologen en anderen is het genootschapsarchief en de geschiedenis van het genootschap van groot belang.
