Reading Huizinga
Summary: This study by the renowned Dutch scholar Willem Otterspeer shows the same hallmark passion with which Huizinga immersed himself in history. For Huizinga, philology was the mother of all interpretative endeavour, the master skill from which all branches of humanities originate and to which they all ultimately return. Reading and writing were both part of a collective ritual that channeled human passion into beautiful forms, while passion, and how to master it, remained the fundamental fact of human life. Throughout this analysis of Huizinga's oeuvre, Otterspeer remains faithful to his main philosophical tenets, in which contrast and harmony, memory and desire, are the warp and weft of his work. And again, this is precisely what Otterspeer does. Reading and writing, passion and detachment, method and mysticism are here combined in a way that would have delighted Huizinga himself. This book is the English translation of the original Dutch edition: 'Orde en trouw' (2006).
From Martyr to Muppy (Mennonite Urban Professionals)
From Martyr to Muppy deals with a topical theme: the way in which cultural and religious minorities adapt to our society, either fully retaining or partly abandoning their identities. This book presents the recent findings about the assimilation history of the Dutch Mennonites from c. 1530 from a multi-disciplinary point of view. The Polish, North American and Dutch contributions aim at a wide reading audience which might be interested in the history of Dutch culture, literature and mentality, as well as in its church history.
The Model Man
Edward William Bok was the most famous Dutch-American in early twentieth-century America thanks to his thirty-year editorship of the Ladies’ Home Journal, the most prestigious women’s magazine of the day. This first complete coverage of Edward Bok’s life places him against his ethnic background and portrays him as the spokesman for and the molder of the American middle class between 1890 and 1930. He acted as a mediator between a Victorian and a modern society, reconciling consumerism with idealism. As a Dutch immigrant he became a model for successful adaptation to a new country and modern times. He used his national reputation to restore America’s internationalism in the 1920s. His life story is relevant to those interested in the history of immigration, journalism, the rise of big business, the women’s movement, and the Progressive Movement.

Doopsgezinde bijdragen 38
In aansluiting op het onderwerp van het najaarscongres van de Doopsgezinde Historische Kring is dit nummer van de 'Doopsgezinde Bijdragen' grotendeels gewijd aan het doopsgezinde identiteitsbesef sinds de negentiende eeuw. Wat gold als doopsgezind eigen? Was dit weerloosheid, vrijheid in het belijden, afwezigheid van een vast en sturend kerkverband of nog iets anders?
