This richly illustrated book tells the story of cultural exchange
between the people of the Low Countries and England in the Middle
Ages and the Early Modern period, and reveals how Anglo-Dutch
connections changed the literary landscape on both sides of the
North Sea. Ranging from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the
'Glorious Revolution' of 1688, it examines how Dutch-speaking
immigrants transformed English culture, and it uncovers the lasting
impact of contacts and collaborations between Dutch and English
speakers on historical writing, map-making, manuscript production
and early printing. The literary heritage of Anglo-Dutch relations
is explored and lavishly illustrated through the unique collection
of manuscripts, early prints, maps and other treasures from the
Bodleian Library in Oxford. The book sheds new light on the
literature and art of a pivotal period in European history.
