More about the book

Focusing on the encounter between the Netherlands and the New World during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the book delves into how the Dutch "discovered" America alongside their national identity's formation. It illustrates the Dutch Republic's creative expressions—through political pamphlets, poetry, and art—reflecting their evolving views of innocence and tyranny. The work analyzes the Dutch response to the New World and the broader implications of geographic discourse and colonial ideology during their Golden Age, highlighting significant cultural and political developments.
