Edited by Rick Honings, Ton van Kalmthout, Gijsbert Rutten

Description

In exploring the birth of a Dutch identity between 1780 and 1830, this book integrates nationalism studies with literary and linguistic history by highlighting scholarly study of the Dutch language as a factor in the creation of the national identity.

These early scholars promoted the Dutch language during a time of political upheaval, when citizens needed something to feel proud of.

This book examines the impact individual agents had on a crucial stage in the Dutch nation-building process.
