An authoritative volume that is the first literary history of the
Netherlands and Flanders in English since the 1970s What was the
written culture behind visual artists like Vermeer, Rembrandt, and
Rubens? What made the historical novel in nineteenth-century
Flanders so different from its counterpart in Holland? What was the
literary impact of the huge colonial empires run by the Netherlands
and Belgium? What role did Latin, French, and Frisian play in the
literary culture of the Low Countries through the ages? Why is
experimental writing so prevalent in modern Dutch literature? What
has made Cees Nooteboom an internationally acclaimed author? And
how does Flemish relate to Dutch anyway? This first literary
history of the Netherlands and Flanders in English since the 1970s
answers these and many other questions. Written by a team of Dutch
and Flemish subject specialists, it offers a comprehensive and
authoritative account of the literature of the Dutch-speaking area
from the medieval period up to the present day. While itfocuses on
literature written in Dutch, it also assesses the significance of
writings in French, Latin, and Frisian. Contributors: Ton Anbeek,
