State Communication and Public Politics in the Dutch Golden Age
describes the political communication practices of the authorities
in the early modern Netherlands. Der Weduwen provides an in-depth
study of early modern state communication: the manner in which
government sought to inform its citizens, publicise its laws, and
engage publicly in quarrels with political opponents. These
communication strategies, including proclamations, the use of town
criers, and the printing and affixing of hundreds of thousands of
edicts, underpinned the political stability of the
seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. Based on systematic research in
thirty-two Dutch archives, this book demonstrates for the first
time how the wealthiest, most literate, and most politically
participatory state of early modern Europe was shaped by the
communication of political information. It makes a decisive case
for the importance of communication to the relationship between
rulers and ruled, and the extent to which early modern authorities
relied on the active consent of their subjects to legitimise their
government.
