During the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic was transformed
into a leading political power in Europe, with global trading
interests. It nurtured some of the period's greatest luminaries,
including Rembrandt, Vermeer, Descartes and Spinoza. Long
celebrated for its religious tolerance, artistic innovation and
economic modernity, the United Provinces of the Netherlands also
became known for their involvement with slavery and military
repression in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This Companion
provides a compelling overview of the best scholarship on this much
debated era, written by a wide range of experts in the field.
Unique in its balanced treatment of global, political,
socio-economic, literary, artistic, religious, and intellectual
history, its nineteen chapters offer an indispensable guide for
anyone interested in the world of the Dutch Golden Age.

In 1649, Charles I was executed before Whitehall Palace in London.
This event had a major impact not only in the British Isles, but
also on the continent, where British exiles, diplomats and agents
waged propaganda battles to conquer the minds of foreign audiences.
In the Dutch Republic, above all, their efforts had a significant
impact on public opinion, and succeeded in triggering violent
debate. This is the first book-length study devoted to the
continental backlash of the English Civil Wars. Interdisciplinary
in scope and drawing on a wide range of sources, from pamphlets to
paintings, Helmer Helmers shows how the royalist cause managed to
triumph in one of the most unlikely places in early modern Europe.
In doing so, Helmers transforms our understanding of both British
and Dutch political culture, and provides new contexts for major
literary works by Milton, Marvell, Huygens, and many others.
