Doppelganger Dilemmas: Anglo-Dutch Relations in Early Modern English Literature and Culture Hardcover – November 4, 2014

Description

Review "Rubright provides her readers with an unusual breadth of material that comes together convincingly around a set of important themes. Not only does she offer sophisticated, compelling, and interesting readings of an incredibly complex relationship, but she also suggests new and interesting avenues for the exploration of the formation of ethnicity and national identity more generally. The work is certain to remain central to the study of English representations of the Dutch for a long time and should be of interest to literary critics and historians alike."  --Journal of British Studies"[T]his is an excellent contribution to the scholarship of ethnic identity and perception and a much-needed and well-executed consideration of the great and underappreciated influence of Dutch immigrants and culture on the thinking and writing of the English Renaissance."  --APPOSITIONS: Studies in Renaissance / Early Modern Literature and Culture Read more About the Author Marjorie Rubright is Associate Professor of English at the University of Toronto.
