It reads a broad selection of early modern literary texts, some never before treated in Anglophone scholarship, in which the Dutch and the English wrote about each other and themselves. This interdisciplinary study brings to light the key affinities of these two nations: their embrace of liberty, turn toward Protestantism, and pursuit of commerce. It shows that as Catholic, colonial powers worked to prevent the rise of early modern Europe’s two great Protestant states, those similarities—as well as a combination of English admiration, envy, and distrust of the Dutch—produced an emulous rivalry that remade the two nations and their literature. Andrew Fleck is Associate Professor of English at the University of Texas in El Paso, USA, where he specializes in Early Modern and Eighteenth-Century British literature and culture. Andrew has published a variety of articles on the literary prose of this period, from Mandeville’s Travels to Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Publications on the early modern English and Dutch include an essay on performing foreign tongues on the English stage (in MaRDiE), syphilis in The Dutch Courtesan (in Early Theatre), the 1603 plague epidemic (forthcoming in JMMLA), Thomas Scott and the English community in the Low Countries (in Studies in Medieval and Renaissance History), and several shorter notes (in Notes and Queries and ANQ). 0aEuropean literaturexRenaissance, 1450-1600.967445 0aLiteraturexHistory and criticism.966499 0aEuropexHistoryx1492-.96896814aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature.96744724aLiterary History.96678924aHistory of Early Modern Europe.9689692 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303142909508iPrinted edition:z978303142911808iPrinted edition:z9783031429125 0aEarly Modern Literature in History,x2634-592796897040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-42910-1 aZDB-2-LCM aZDB-2-SXL c57021d57021
