Cambridge University Press The Dutch in the Early Modern World
Book SynopsisEmerging at the turn of the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic rose to become a powerhouse of economic growth, artistic creativity, military innovation, religious tolerance and intellectual development. This is the first textbook to present this period of early modern Dutch history in a global context. It makes an active use of illustrations, objects, personal stories and anecdotes to present a lively overview of Dutch global history that is solidly grounded in sources and literature. Focusing on themes that resonate with contemporary concerns, such as overseas exploration, war, slavery, migration, identity and racism, this volume charts the multiple ways in which the Dutch were connected with the outside world. It serves as an engaging and accessible introduction to Dutch history as well as a case study in early modern global expansion.Trade Review'A clear, fascinating, and comprehensive guide to a truly global Netherlands; setting diplomatic, military, and imperial history in a rich cultural context.' Tony Claydon, University of Bangor'Vividly written and original in approach, this book is an impressive achievement. Onnekink and Rommelse take a broad view of international history, linking the Dutch Republic's policy in Europe with its trading ventures in Asia, Africa and the Americas. In the process they throw much fresh light on their subject, from the culture of diplomacy to the science of overseas expansion. For all this and more, their account will be widely welcomed.' Hugh Dunthorne, University of Swansea'A well written narrative of Dutch foreign policy from revolt (1579) to revolution (1795) and set those developments within a wider socio-economic and cultural context. This work represents the best of the New Diplomatic history and fills lacunae in both Dutch and Early Modern European history. A carefully crafted and wittily argued tale, this book is highly recommended.' Linda Frey and Marsha Frey, University of Montana and Kansas State University'A fast-paced, well-informed account of the rise, decline and fall of the Dutch Republic 1600–1800. It offers many challenging new insights, interweaving as it does the dynamics driving Dutch culture and society with the global maritime power of its merchant empire.'

His insightful and probing profiles of some of the most innovative artists are guideposts to the last sixty years of visual culture. He is an archeologist of sorts, excavating and articulating those salient aspects of an artist's character lurking beneath the surface.

Haemisegger Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University"The Lives of Artists promises endless hours of pleasurable and enlightening reading and re-reading. More than that, it will deliver a world of new friends into your life. While the six-volume set is imposing in total, each Profile remains a wondrously intimate portrayal of its subject."—Ann Temkin, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, Museum of Modern Art"Generous and insightful, Calvin Tomkins tells the story of the things we call art, and the colorful spirits called artists who make them."—Paul Chan"Over his long career, he has published masterly profiles of visual artists and creative virtuosos. His pieces are marked by a keen eye for detail and an elegant understanding of an artist's relationship to her work."—David Remnick, The New Yorker"For more than half a century, Calvin Tomkins has brought readers breathtakingly close to the personalities, practices, ideas, and immediate environments of many of the most significant artists and creators of our time.

Who could ask for anything more?"—The Evening Standard"Legendary Journalist Calvin Tomkins... has profiled many of the greatest artists of the age... A lavish new multi-volume set... His profiles make artists human, allowing other humans to understand their art."—Artnet News"A prolific collection of artists-many of them eccentric or otherwise challenging, all of them great (or at least noteworthy)."—The Art Angle"...As a study of a longtime critic, it's unmatched."—Chicago Tribune
