‘Jonathan Israel\'s 1,231-page blockbuster forms the inaugural volume of a new series, ‘the Oxford History of Early Modern Europe’, and offers a comprehensive, integrated account of the northern part of the Netherlands over almost 350 years...
The Dutch Republic represents the fruit of 12 years of research, contemplation and writing, and brims over with interesting detail.’ -The New York Times Book Review
‘Israel performs the great service of charting a path through this literature and presents a coherent and comprehensive picture of the Dutch Republic.... Comprehensive in scope and yet so clearly and carefully written that it could serve as a textbook for graduate history courses. Because it is so thoroughly researched and up-to-date, it is also the kind of indispensable handbook that deserves a place on every early modernist\'s bookshelf.’-American Historical Review
The Dutch Golden Age, the age of Grotius, Spinoza, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and a host of other renowned artists and writers was also remarkable for its immense impact in the spheres of commerce, finance, shipping, and technology.
It was in fact one of the most spectacularly creative episodes in the history of the world. Jonathan Israel gives the definitive account of the emergence of the United Provinces as a great power and explains the subsequent decline in the eighteenth century.
He places the thought, politics, religion, and social developments of the Golden Age in their broad context and examines the changing relationship between the northern Netherlands and the south, which was to develop into modern Belgium.
Israel has produced a classic ... Any scholar would be delighted to write a book of such learning, vigour and confidence. Very few indeed have done so, and no other has matched Israel on his topic.
This is a magnificent doorstop of a book ... As an account of what made possible one of the most dazzling Golden Ages in European history it is unlikely to be bettered. - Sunday Telegraph
