Literature and History of Anglo-Dutch Relations, Medieval to Modern
<p>Ranging from c. 1050 to c. 1600, <em>The Literature and History of Anglo-Dutch Relations, Medieval to Modern</em> crosses chronological, linguistic, geographical, and disciplinary boundaries to explore the cultural history of relations between English and Dutch speakers. The evidence consists of many different types and genres, taking account of the range of languages spoken and written in England and the Low Countries. Contributors move beyond source study to consider other ways in which speakers of Dutch and English took notice of each other in their writing. This book attempts to join up the study of literary transfer with historical evidence of contact situations. Stories, ideas, and 'memes' in our period did not travel without people to carry them.</p>
