Allies to Enemies: Popular Xenophobia During the Seventeenth Century Anglo-Dutch Wars

van der Velde, Adrian T.

Abstract Details

2016, Master of Arts (MA), Wright State University, History.
This thesis examines the excoriating pamphlet literature of both Dutch and English origin during the three Anglo-Dutch Wars of the seventeenth century. The Dutch Republic of this time was in the midst of its Golden Age, while England was on its ascent to eventual predominance in world affairs. By looking at concepts such as staartmannen [tail-men], Duivelskind [Devil’s child], or “Hollandophobia,” themes of mockery, religion, and xenophobia in popular printed works – including the engraved illustrations which accompanied the texts – are observed. Ultimately the thesis argues that the pamphlet literature bolstered the regional identity of Hollander in the Dutch Republic and helped reinforce an English identity that arose in opposition to its rival.
