The Golden Mean of Languages
In The Golden Mean of Languages, Alisa van de Haar sheds new light on the debates regarding the form and status of the vernacular in the early modern Low Countries, where both Dutch and French were local tongues. The fascination with the history, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary of Dutch and French has been studied mainly from monolingual perspectives tracing the development towards modern Dutch or French. Van de Haar shows that the discussions on these languages were rooted in multilingual environments, in particular in French schools, Calvinist churches, printing houses, and chambers of rhetoric. The proposals that were formulated there to forge Dutch and French into useful forms were not directed solely at uniformization but were much more diverse.

Blacks in the Dutch World
Blacks in the Dutch World examines the interaction between Black history and Dutch history to gain an understanding of the historical development of racial attitudes. Allison Blakely reveals cracks in the self-image and reputation of Dutch society as a haven for those escaping intolerance. Pervasive images of "the Moor" and "the noble savage" in Dutch art and popular culture; "Black Pete," servant to Santa Claus in Dutch Christmas tradition: these and many other cultural artifacts reflect the racial stereotyping of Blacks that existed in the Dutch world through slavery, servitude, and freedom. Blakely weighs the proposition that factors unique to the modern period have contributed to the cre...
Appropriating the Middle Ages
From early modern times rulers and politicians have sought to ground their legitimacy in ancient tradition - which they have often invented or rewritten for their own purposes. This issue of Studies in Medievalism presents a number of such cases.

Crossing Boundaries
The essays assembled in Crossing Boundaries reflect the international dimensions, commonalities, and discontinuities in the histories of diasporan communities of colour. People of African descent in the New World (the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean) share a common set of experiences: domination and resistance, slavery and emancipation, the pursuit of freedom, and struggle against racism. No unitary explanation can capture the varied experiences of black people in diaspora. Knowledge of individual societies is illuminated by the study and comparison of other cultural histories. This volume, growing out of the Comparative History of Black People in Diaspora Symposium held at M...
Het gevecht met de boeken. De uitgeversstrategieën van de familie Verdussen (1589-1689)
This PhD study researches the editorial strategies of an Antwerp based family of printers, the Verdussens. Based on unique sources and on research done in Belgium, Spain and Mexico, this study wants to emphasize the role of the printer-bookseller in early-modern Europe as the main financier, creator and distributor of the only mass medium of its time. The strategical decisions of the Verdussen company allowed them to stay in business for more than two centuries in a politically and economically difficult times.
Dutch Typography in the Sixteenth Century
When compiling the short-title catalogue of books printed in the sixteenth-century northern Netherlands from 1541 to 1600, Paul Valkema Blouw was confronted with a large number of ‘problem cases’, such as anonymously and/or surreptitiously printed editions, fictitious printers and undated or falsely dated printed works. By minutely analysing the typefaces, initials, vignettes and other ornaments used, drawing from his extensive knowledge of secondary literature, archival information and his unrivalled typographic memory, he not only managed to attribute a surprising number of these publications to a printer, but also could establish the period of time in which, as well as the places where, they must have been printed. These findings and the ways in which they were reached are described in the present collection of papers. They are of paramount importance to scholars engaged in research of the period concerned, whether in the field of church history, national history or book history
The Transformation of Vernacular Expression in Early Modern Arts
Including contributions by historians of early modern European art, architecture, and literature, this book examines the transformative force of the vernacular over time and different regions, as well as the way the concept of the vernacular itself changes in the period.
Hekelen met humor
Kluchten en blijspelen werden in de zeventiende eeuw opgevoerd na een ernstig toneelspel. Ze waren vooral bedoeld om het publiek te laten lachen. Maar in de humoristische scènes werden ook kritische boodschappen verpakt. Deze gingen bijna altijd over wangedrag in het dagelijks leven: de pronkerige mode, het gesjoemel van advocaten, het hooghartig gedrag van meiden, de kwalijke gevolgen van kwaadsprekerij. Commentaar geven was gevaarlijk. Het publiek kon boos worden of weglopen en de autoriteiten konden een toneelstuk verbieden of een toneelschrijver straffen. Johanna Ferket onderzocht meer dan honderd zeventiende-eeuwse komische toneelstukken uit de Noordelijke en Zuidelijke Nederlanden. Ze laat zien dat de toneelschrijvers verschillende literaire strategieën gebruikten om de publieke opinie te beïnvloeden. Zelfs hoeren en dronkenlappen blijken dan soms de waarheid in pacht te hebben.
