What is Public Opinion and Changing Identities in the Early Modern Netherlands : Essays in Honour of Alastair Duke about?

Was there such a thing as'public opinion'before the age of newspapers and party politics? The essays in this collection show that in the Low Countries, at least, there certainly was. In this highly urbanised society, with high literacy rates and good connections, news and public debate could spread fast in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, enabling the growth of powerful opposition movements against the Crown, the creation of the Dutch Republic, and of the distinctive Netherlandish culture of the Golden Age.Contributors include: Hugh Dunthorne, Raingard Esser, Jonathan Israel, Gustaaf Janssens, Henk van Nierop, Guido Marnef, M.E.H. Nicolette Mout, Andrew Pettegree, Judith Pollmann, Paul Regan•, Andrew Sawyer•, Jo Spaans, Andrew Spicer•, and Juliaan Woltjer. (• Supervised by Alastair Duke)
