Vantage Points
Vantage Points is a collection of essays concerning approaches to Dutch and Flemish literature, both present and past. They are offered by distinguished American and European colleagues in honor of Johan P. Snapper of the University of California at Berkeley on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. This volume represents an outstanding cross-section of current research on the literature, art, and culture of the Low Countries (Netherlands and Belgium). The articles cover a range of topics from the purely literary to broader artistic, sociocultural, and philosophical questions. Dutch and Flemish poetry, from the seventeenth century epic through the classical period and on to symbolist, modern...
Janus at the Millennium
This volume contains a selection of articles originally presented at the Tenth Interdisciplinary Conference on Netherlandic Studies. These revised contributions, relating to the common theme of Janus and the perspective of time, examine Dutch language and culture from the U.S., Belgium, and the Netherlands.
History in Dutch Studies
History in Dutch Studies re-considers the central role of history within the discipline of Dutch Studies as viewed from a range of specializations within the field. Contributions by scholars of Dutch history, art history, literature and linguistics all illustrate how the past, and one's theories and views of history, affect the practice of each part of the discipline. One reflection of the history of the Low Countries in "Dutch Studies" is the range of the field: it is interpreted broadly in this volume to include studies of Afrikaans as well as Dutch literature- poetry as well as prose- in light of their histories, the history of Flanders and that of the Netherlands, approaches within Dutch linguistics as well as a history of language contact and its influence on Dutch. This breadth continues in the range of institutions and nationalities that are represented. The volume presents work from major scholars from the Netherlands, Belgium, and South Africa as well as from the United States of America. These articles therefore provide a good cross-section of ongoing research in the Netherlandic Studies the world over.

The Berkeley Conference on Dutch Literature, 1995
This book is a collection of twelve articles from the 1995 Berkeley Conference on Dutch Literature, ranging from critical essays on post-war Dutch poets as well as a re-examination of the current literary history of Dutch poetry. It deals with new currents in Dutch poetry, presented by American, Dutch, and Flemish netherlandists.
