A Family Occupation
A Family Occupation investigates Dutch-language texts by well-known authors which address the occupation and its aftermath in the lives of victims, collaborators, bystanders and Dutch internees in the prison-camps of Indonesia. It is the first English-language introduction to writings by and about the "Children of War" and their cultural context. Their themes and literary conventions throw an interesting light on the Dutch approach to issues such as guilt and innocence, memory and narrative, national identity, victimhood, child abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, amnesia and recovered memory.
Making the Personal Political
"Making the Personal Political is an interdisciplinary account of a now forgotten success story in the history of the society and culture of the Netherlands. While Dutch women had apparently retreated into domesticity after gaining the vote in 1919, women writers were out there in the market place selling the inside story of women's lives. Eight case studies of women writers between 1919 and 1970 trace the unconscious politics of the personal in narratives of women's identity and experience through close readings of texts located in the culture of the time. Jane Fenoulhet, whose knowledge of Dutch literature and culture in the twentieth century is unparallelled in the English-speaking world, tracks the public representation of women's private project of self development to the moment when the personal is finally accepted as politically important in Dutch society."

Eva - A Novel by Carry van Bruggen
Eva, a 1927 novel by Dutch writer Carry van Bruggen, is an experiment in depicting a woman’s life from girlhood to marriage, and beyond, to sexual freedom and independence. At the same time, the narrative expresses Eva’s dawning sense of self and expanding subjectivity through a stream of consciousness told by a shifting narrator. Burdened all of her life by feelings of shame, at the end of the novel Eva overcomes this legacy of her upbringing and declares that it is ‘bodily desire that makes love acceptable’. Carry van Bruggen’s rich and varied language conveys Eva’s experience of the world. Powerful memories of an orthodox Jewish childhood pervade the novel with its fluid sense...

De laatste deur
Jeroen Brouwers onderzoekt in De laatste deur het zelfmoordraadsel aan de hand van zelfverkozen levenseindes van Nederlandstalige schrijvers, nu in een herziene en uitgebreide editie. In ‘De laatste deur’ beschrijft Jeroen Brouwers de levensomstandigheden van Nederlandstalige auteurs en hoe die hen tot zelfmoord hebben aangezet, alsmede de indicaties daartoe die zij soms in hun werken hebben nagelaten. Welke invloed had bijvoorbeeld de Bijbel op de zelfmoord van schrijvers als François Haverschmidt, welke uitwerking hadden politiek en wereldgeschiedenis op de laatste dagen van Menno ter Braak? Er zijn perioden van zelfmoordgolven in de schrijverswereld, zoals in het laatste kwart van de jongste eeuw: Halbo C. Kool, Jan Emmens, Jan Arends, Jotie T’Hooft, nog anderen. En in de eerste jaren van de eenentwintigste eeuw de zelf veroorzaakte dood van Adriaan Venema, Anil Ramdas, Nanne Tepper, Joost Zwagerman en opnieuw tal van bekende en minder bekende anderen. Kortom, ‘De laatste deur’ is een literaire geschiedenis van zelfmoord, geschreven met empathie en betrokkenheid in een nieuwe, ingrijpend herziene en geactualiseerde editie.
