The Dutch are 'the envy of some, the fear of others, and the wonder
of all their neighbours'. So wrote the English ambassador to the
Dutch Republic, Sir William Temple, in 1673 and Maarten Prak here
offers a lively and innovative history of this Dutch 'miracle' in
the seventeenth century. He charts the political, social, economic
and cultural history of the Golden Age through chapters that range
from the introduction of the tulip to the experience of immigrants
and Jews in Dutch society, the paintings of Vermeer and Rembrandt,
and the ideas of Spinoza. He sets the Dutch experience within a
European context and examines the extent to which the Golden Age
was a product of its own past or the harbinger of the more modern,
industrialised and enlightened society of the future. A fascinating
and accessible study, this book will prove invaluable reading to
anyone interested in Dutch history.
