Das Auge der Geschichte. Der Aufstand der Niederlande und die Französischen Religionskriege im Spiegel der Bildberichte Franz Hogenbergs (ca. 1560–1610)
Ofter gheen water op en hadde gheweest’ – Narratives of Resilience on the Dutch Coast in the Seventeenth Century
Inundations and floods were part of the everyday experiences of early modern coastal societies. While much scholarly research has focused on the immediate reactions to the seemingly extraordinary inundations, this article argues, that an investigation of the long-term perspective of flood accounts, beyond the much studied discourses of ministers, magistrates and engineers might reveal a different, but perhaps more typical response to these disast…

The Politics of Memory
The Eighty Years’ War and the establishment of two states in the Low Countries inaugurated the publication of numerous texts to support a distinct Northern and Southern identity. This study analyses urban and regional chorographies written both in the North and in the South in the seventeenth century. It examines different strategies that chorographers developed to make sense of the recent and more remote past. It also looks at the development of…

Living with Religious Diversity in Early-Modern Europe
Politische Redekultur in der Vormoderne. Die Oratorik europäischer Parlamente in Spätmittelalter und Früher Neuzeit
Language no obstacle
German war brides are an essential part in the cultural memory of post-war West Germany. This study sheds some light on the representation of war brides in German newspapers and magazines published in the American and British zones between 1945/46 and 1949. It argues that German- American marriages were utilised to demonstrate and to enhance the good relations between the former enemies and contributed to the popularisation of the ‘American Dream…
Political Change and Urban Memory
The Dutch Golden Age inaugurated the publication of numerous texts in search of the establishment of a Dutch national identity. Research into the ‘new patriotic scripture’ (Schama) has so far been focused on the productions in the region of Leiden. Less interest has been paid to the town histories, which were the most popular genres at the time. The article looks at three prominent histories of Amsterdam: Johannes Isacius Pontanus' seventeenth Ce…
News across the channel ‐ contact and communication between the Dutch and Walloon refugees in Norwich and their families in flanders, 1565–1640
This article examines the contacts kept between Dutch and Walloon refugees, who fled the Low Countries in the second half of the sixteenth century and their relatives and friends back home. The Norwich exile communities are taken as a case study to discuss how and how long family ties were maintained across the Channel. By looking at letters, port‐books and wills it will be analysed how long a particular Dutch and Walloon identity, which was cent…
