Tillfälligt slut
This volume resulted from the third interdisciplinary conference on Netherlandic Studies, where participants discussed and exchanged views on the Low Countries in past and present. Besides the glorious art history of the Low Countries, the history of the Dutch Language and musical and political life was discussed. Views on modern times were represented through presentations on modern Dutch theater, modern poetry and prose and the intricacies, delicacies and difficulties of the modern Dutch language, in original and translation. A special section was devoted to the history and position of the Dutch immigrants and their languages and position in American society in past and present.

Faced with death's certainty-and the uncertainty of the time of its coming, particularly in a historical period of widespread plague and other afflictions-as well as the inevitability of the hereafter, what is one to do? Everyman speaks to this dilemma. . . . The protagonist is one who, because he has laid up treasures on earth, has been in a position to do good deeds, but he has been very lax about it and instead has pursued enjoyment and wealth, the latter hoarded instead of being shared with the poor and needy. . . . Now he must, as the medieval mystics knew, endure the solitariness of leaving behind all that has given him comfort in this world. . . . This facing page translation of this Continental play will be useful to all students of theater.

Mary of Nemmegen, a prose condensation in English of the Middle Dutch play Mariken van Nieumeghen, is an important example of the literature that was imported from Holland in the early part of the sixteenth century. It also may be compared to Everyman, described as a treatise "in the manner of a moral play." Mary of Nemmegen is an analogue of the Faustus story. As such, it is also a window on the obsession in its own time with the occult.
