The Dutch Republic in the Seventeenth Century

Author: J L Pric

The Dutch Republic emerged from the epic revolt of the Netherlands against Spanish rule in the late sixteenth century and almost immediately became a major political force in Europe. Leslie Price - an acknowledged expert in the field - shows how this extraordinary new state, a republic in a Europe of monarchies, was able to achieve such successes despite the burdens of the Eighty Years War with Spain, which only came to a definitive end in 1648.

Shows how the Dutch Republic became a major political force in Europe despite the burdens of the Eighty Years War with Spain. Price (history, U. of Leeds) examines how the economic boom of the late 16th and early 17th centuries produced a vigorous society that was able to combine religious pluralism with relative political stability, and rapid social change with cultural vitality.
