In novels, cartoons and films, "the" pirate had a wooden leg, a parrot on one of his shoulders, a patch before one of his eyes and buried his treasures on remote shores or islands... This book is not about fictional pirates but about real ones but their stories are equally spectacular. Some of them were not "pirates" but "privateers" equipped with a "letter of marque", an official license to attack enemies in times of war. Among other Dutch, Frisian and Flemish freebooters, this book includes: Grutte Pier, a folk hero defending the Frisian freedom against the Hollanders around 1520; the "Sea-Beggars" and their decisive role in the War of Dutch Independence (1568-1648); the Dunkirk raiders harassing merchant vessels from Amsterdam; adventurers joining the legendary pirates of Barbary or the Caribbean. This book not only deals with the freebooters themselves but also with their victims and foes, as well as corrupt shipowners and corrupt judges of Prize Courts.

Haarlem wordt vaak neergezet als een wat ingeslapen, kleinburgerlijk stadje in de schaduw van het dynamische Amsterdam. In feite werd Haarlem door zijn hele geschiedenis gekenmerkt door industrie en een daarbij horende arbeidersbevolking. Al in de 17de eeuw was Haarlem met zijn linnennijverheid een belangrijk industrieel centrum en in de 19de en vroege 20ste eeuw, wel gezien als de Tweede Gouden Eeuw, groeide het zelfs sneller dan de hoofdstad. Er ontstonden grote volkswijken en volkspartijen als de SDAP/PvdA gingen de gemeenteraad beheersen. Haarlem wordt voor het eerst vermeld in een tussen 885 en 948 opgesteld document van de Utrechtse St.-Maartenskerk. De Utrechtse bisschop claimde daarin drie boerderijen terug die in de Vikingentijd verloren waren gegaan. Op de plek van die boerderijen vestigden de Hollandse graven een hof, die zich ontwikkelde tot een militair centrum. Uit die militaire nederzetting kon een stad groeien doordat in de 13de eeuw het Spaarne een schakel werd in de route tussen de Hanzesteden aan de Oostzee en rijke Vlaamse steden als Ieper, Brugge en Gent. Aan een stad van handelaren, ambachtslieden en steeds meer arbeiders werden politiek, economisch, religieus en cultureel andere eisen gesteld dan aan een legerplaats. Het bestuur en de rechtspraak kwamen bij belangrijke burgers te liggen. Ook het sociale, religieuze en culturele leven paste zich toen en telkens opnieuw aan als de stad een nieuwe fase van ontwikkeling doormaakte. Soms gebeurde dat geleidelijk, soms met geweld. In dit boek is geprobeerd het economische, sociale, politieke en culturele leven in Haarlem en van de plaats van die stad in haar omgeving vanaf de eerste oorsprong tot de huidige tijd in zijn samenhang te beschrijven.

Marriage and Land Law in Shakespeare and Middleton examines the dynamics of early modern marriage-making, a time-honored practice that was evolving, often surreptitiously, from patriarchal control based on money and inheritance, to a companionate union in which love and the couple’s own agency played a role. Among early modern playwrights, the marriage plays of Shakespeare and Middleton are particularly, though not uniquely, concerned with this evolution, observing the movement towards spousal choice determined by the couple themselves. Through the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, the role of the patriarch, though often compromised, remained intact: the father or guardian negotiated the financial terms. And, in a culture that was still tied to feudal practices, land law held a primary place in the bargain. This book, while following the arc of changing marriage practices, focuses on the ways in which the oldest determination of status, land, affects marital decisions. Land is not a constant topic of conversation in the twenty-one theatrical marriages scrutinized here, but it is a persistent and omnipresent truth of family and economic life. In paired discussions of marriage plays by Shakespeare and Middleton—The Taming of the Shrew/A Chaste Maid in Cheapside, All’s Well That Ends Well/A Trick To Catch the Old One, Measure for Measure/A Mad World, My Masters, The Merchant of Venice/The Roaring Girl, and Much Ado About Nothing/No Wit, No Help Like A Woman’s—this book explores the attempts, maneuvers, intrigues, ruses, and schemes that marriageable characters deploy in order to control spousal choice and secure land. Special attention is given to patriarchal figures whose poor judgment exploits inheritance law weaknesses and to the lack of legal protection and hence the vulnerability of women—and men—who engage the system in unconventional ways. Investigation into the milieu of early modern patriarchal influence in marriage-making and the laws governing inheritance practices enables a fresh reading of Shakespeare’s and Middleton’s marriage comedies.

This original book presents a global approach to eighteenth century warfare. Emphasis is placed on the importance of conflict in the period and the capacity for decisiveness in impact and development in method. Through this Jeremy Black extends the view beyond land to naval conflict. European Warfare in a Global Context offers a comparative approach, in the sense of considering Western developments alongside those elsewhere, furthermore it puts emphasis on conflict between Western and non-western powers. This approach necessarily reconsiders developments within the West, but also offers a shift in emphasis from standard narrative of the latter. This book is the ideal study of warfare for all students.
