As people, ideas and goods moved back and forth across the North Sea – or spread further afield in the vanguard of globalisation and empire – Anglo-Dutch relations shaped all aspects of life, with profound implications still relevant today.A diverse range of expert scholars share new research in their discipline, ranging across technology, trade, politics, religion and the arts. Different aspects of this history of competition, alliance, migration and conflict are taken up by each chapter, providing the reader with detailed case studies as well as the broader background and its historical roots. Anglo-Dutch Connections in the Early Modern World aims to be both accessible and innovative. It will be essential to students and researchers interested in European politics, intellectual history, and shared Anglo-Dutch society, while showcasing current research in multiple facets of the Early Modern World.

The tumultuous relations between Britain and the United Provinces in the seventeenth century provide the backdrop to this book, striking new ground as its transnational framework permits an overview of their intertwined culture, politics, trade, intellectual exchange, and religious debate. How the English and Dutch understood each other is coloured by these factors, and revealed through an imagological method, charting the myriad uses of stereotypes in different genres and contexts. The discussion is anchored in a specific context through the lives and works of John Milton and Andrew Marvell, whose complex connections with Dutch people and society are investigated. As well as turning overdue attention to neglected Dutch writers of the period, the book creates new possibilities for reading Milton and Marvell as not merely English, but European poets.

The State Bibles is the first extended comparative study of two key bible translations of the early modern period – the King James Version (1611) and the Dutch Statenvertaling (1637). It connects editorial decisions and theological emphases with contemporary retellings of biblical-political narratives, including chapters drawing on David, Naboth, and Esther. The KJV had an underappreciated influence on shaping the Dutch translation, which can be recovered through a comparison of their editorial practices, scriptural transmission, and religio-political contexts. Despite the translations’ ambition to project a definitive Christian Truth, the texts themselves resonate to the aims, fears, and tensions in both nations’ history. In turn, adaptations into literary or polemic texts repeated or rejected the translation choices and glosses of the state-authorised bibles, informing our understanding of the bibles’ reception, the influence of other traditions, and the infinite adaptability of the bible narratives. Many such adaptations remain understudied, but can unlock how authors responded to contemporary crises, and the tools available to them to express their ideas. Crucially, this is a transnational story, exploiting a striking ‘Anglo-Dutch Moment’ in how sacred texts were commissioned, translated, produced, illustrated, studied, revised, performed, criticised, and endorsed.
