Summary

History in Dutch Studies re-considers the central role of history within the discipline of Dutch Studies as viewed from a range of specializations within the field; studies in Dutch history, art history, literature and linguistics all reflect how the past, and one's theories and views of history, affect the practice of each sub-discipline.
