Innocence Abroad explores the process of encounter that took place
between the Netherlands and the New World in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. The 'discovery' of America coincided with
the foundation of the Dutch Republic, a correspondence of much
significance for the Netherlands. From the opening of their Revolt
against Hapsburg Spain through the climax of their Golden Age, the
Dutch looked to America - in political pamphlets and patriotic
histories, epic poetry and allegorical prints, landscape painting
and decorative maps - for a means of articulating a new national
identity. This book demonstrates how the image of America fashioned
in the Netherlands, and especially the twin themes of 'innocence'
and 'tyranny', became integrally associated with the evolving
political, moral and economic agenda. It investigates the energetic
Dutch response to the New World while examining the operation of
geographic discourse and colonial ideology within the culture of
the Dutch Golden Age.
