Rembrandt, Hals and Vermeer are still household names, even though
they died over three hundred years ago. In their lifetimes they
witnessed the extraordinary consolidation of the newly independent
Dutch Republic and its emergence as one of the richest nations on
earth. As one contemporary wrote in 1673: the Dutch were 'the envy
of some, the fear of others, and the wonder of all their
neighbours'. During the Dutch Golden Age, the arts blossomed and
the country became a haven of religious tolerance. However, despite
being self-proclaimed champions of freedom, the Dutch conquered
communities in America, Africa and Asia and were heavily involved
in both slavery and the slave trade on three continents. This
substantially revised second edition of the leading textbook on the
Dutch Republic includes a new chapter exploring slavery and its
legacy, as well as a new chapter on language and literature.
