Floods are a fundamental part of Dutch history. Indeed, having ‘tamed’ the threats associated with living below sea level is part of Dutch national identity. In the cultural depictions of these devastating events, however, national pride at a certain collective resilience goes hand-in-hand with the collective trauma of exposed vulnerability. All too often, the Dutch were the losers in these battles against the elements. In a time of rising global sea levels, cultural scholar Lotte Jensen dives into the stories and images of the past to unpack this paradox for today. Over the centuries, large parts of the Netherlands have been progressively reclaimed from its river delta home. Throughout that process, the country suffered countless floods, a number of which were truly catastrophic, such as the Saint Elizabeth’s Flood of 1421 or the North Sea Flood of 1953. Jensen describes how the Dutch have dealt with these disasters, in practice but also in the imagination. It is the story of babies in floating cradles, fatherly monarchs, community fundraisers, and the boy who stuck his finger in the dike. Centuries before the nation-building associated with the 1800s, the Dutch created a unifying ‘us’ – the image of the Dutch lion – against a ‘them’ – the ‘waterwolf’, the major threat which water embodied. This national feeling and narrative were crafted with a set repertoire of images; role models (heroes and monarchs); charity (national and international solidarity); and a culture of remembrance. Jensen gives particular attention to the at times funny poems, books and songs, later criticized as clichéd or melodramatic, which these collective traumas inspired. She also demonstrates through monuments and works of art how this narrative has multiplied and acquired variations with time right up to the present. Though once cast in a more religious light – the flood as punishment for a general lack of religious devotion – the waterwolf has become, for example, a collective responsibility for the environment that begins with lifestyle choices. Today the Netherlands lives with water more than it battles it, some thinkers even envisioning an ‘amphibian’ future for the country. The stories and images of the past, however, reveal that precisely vulnerability can be fertile ground for solidarity and togetherness. With rising sea levels representing a growing threat, this well-researched and highly readable cultural history shows how over time a culture’s imagination can gain new relevance beyond its borders. Acknowledging and building from a place of collective vulnerability might now be more important than ever.

It is so good, after so many years of public indifference, even hostility towards Vincent and his work, to feel towards the end of my life that the battle is won.' JO VAN GOGH-BONGER TO GUSTAVE COQUIOT, 1922 'It is a sacrifice for the sake of Vincent's glory.' JO VAN GOGH-BONGER ON THE SALE OF 'THE SUNFLOWERS' TO THE NATIONAL GALLERY, UK, 1924 Little known but no less influential, Jo van Gogh-Bonger was sister-in-law of Vincent van Gogh, wife of his brother, Theo. When the brothers died soon after each other, she took charge of Van Gogh's artistic legacy and devoted the rest of her life to disseminating his work. Despite being widowed with a young son, Jo successfully navigated the male-dominated world of the art market-publishing Van Gogh's letters, organizing exhibitions in the Netherlands and throughout the world, and making strategic sales to private individuals and influential dealers-ultimately establishing Van Gogh's reputation as one of the finest artists of his generation. In doing so, she fundamentally changed how we view the relationship between the artist and his work. She also lived a rich and fascinating life-not only was she friends with eminent writers and artists, but she also was active within the Social Democratic Labour Party and closely involved in emerging women's movements. Using rich source material, including unseen diaries, documents and letters, Hans Luijten charts the multi-faceted life of this visionary woman with the drive to shake the art world to its core.

De onstuimige roaring twenties in Brazilië vormen het decor van een onmogelijk liefdesverhaal, ingenieuze whodunit en broeierige historie ineen. Rio is een betoverende roman over een tragische zoektocht naar waarheid en liefde van een verhalenverteller pur sang, Jolanda Clément. Inspecteur en koffiebaron Eduardo is belast met het oplossen van een mysterieuze moord, tegelijkertijd stort thuis zijn huwelijk definitief ineen. Danseres en secretaresse Maria is op zoek naar een manier om op eigen benen te staan terwijl ze overvallen wordt door de intense liefde voor een eigenzinnige jongeman. Hun beider levens raken in een stroomversnelling: Eduardo wil het juiste doen, ook als dat tegen de belangen van zijn eigen, heersende klasse indruist, en Maria wil haar pas ontdekte zelfbewustzijn ten koste van alles bewaken. De traditionele waarden hebben voor beiden afgedaan, maar waarvoor moeten deze plaatsmaken? Als de Tenentes, een groep jonge officieren, São Paulo belegeren om een revolutie te forceren, wordt zowel Eduardo’s als Maria’s integriteit op de proef gesteld en blijkt dat ieders individuele zoektocht naar ware liefde meer met die van de ander verstrengeld is dan ze ooit hadden kunnen vermoeden.

In Koop de hemel voor mij vertelt Xinran de persoonlijke verhalen van jonge mannen en vrouwen die opgroeiden tijdens de Chinese eenkindpolitiek. Als ‘kleine keizers’ zijn ze door hun ouders van alle gemakken voorzien, maar daartegenover staat het juk van enorme verwachtingen en het ontbreken van een gezond gezinsleven. Van de rijkeluiszoon die niet weet hoe hij zijn koffer in moet pakken tot de succesvolle studente die vervreemd is van haar plattelandse ouders: niet alleen zijzelf, maar ook hun ouders en de samenleving betalen hier een hoge prijs voor. Scherpzinnig en inlevend legt Xinran de onthutsende gevolgen bloot van de eenkindpolitiek. Koop de hemel voor mij biedt een unieke blik op het China van nu, maar vertelt ook een universeel verhaal over de band tussen ouders en hun opgroeiende kinderen. ‘Een fascinerende, vaak schokkende en steeds overtuigende analyse van hedendaags China.’ – The Spectator ‘De manier waarop Xinran met deze jongeren praat is een zeldzaamheid. De lezer wordt erdoor geraakt, ontroerd zelfs. Een zeer geslaagd boek.’ – The Independent

Politics and Aesthetics in European Baroque and Classicist Tragedy is a volume of essays investigating European tragedy in the seventeenth century, comparing Shakespeare, Vondel, Gryphius, Racine and several other vernacular tragedians, together with consideration of neo-Latin dramas by Jesuits and other playwrights. To what extent were similar themes, plots, structures and styles elaborated? How is difference as well as similarity to be accounted for? European drama is beginning to be considered outside of the singular vernacular frameworks in which it has been largely confined (as instanced in the conferences and volumes of essays held in the Universities of Munich and Berlin 2010-12), but up-to-date secondary material is sparse and difficult to obtain. This volume intends to help remedy that deficit by addressing the drama in a full political, religious, legal and social context, and by considering the plays as interventions in those contexts.
