Description: Panelists address the recent resurgence of work on the literary culture of the Dutch Golden Age. New approaches to the intricate ways in which the literary production of multilingual Dutch writers was intertwined with religious and political debates, historical narratives befitting the republic’s emergence as a global economic power, and transnational developments in the arts and religion will be explored.
