Historical and literary works from the Spanish Golden Age offer a
wealth of information about the Spanish view of the conflict in the
Netherlands during the Dutch Revolt and the ensuing Eighty Years'
War (1568-1648). The war in the cold north was to become a fixed
component in the lives of the Spaniards of the Golden Age for many
years. This book reconstructs the images that the Spanish had of
the Netherlands and its inhabitants. These images are inextricably
intertwined with the picture that the Spanish constructed of
themselves as participants in the conflict. This book follows the
developments of these images from the construction of an image of
the enemy that reached a climax between 1621 and 1648 and then
gradually faded away. Which images and representations circulated
the most, and where did they come from? Which rhetoric was used to
present them to the public, and in which genres and contexts were
they disseminated and preserved? On the basis of a varied
collection of sources, war chronicles and plays, as well as
pamphlets, poems, historical works and prose writings, the author
illustrates the appearance of the Netherlands through Spanish eyes
during the course of the Eighty Years' War.
