The Persian Whitman

Beyond a Literary Reception

2019 || Paperback || Behnam M. Fomeshi || Leiden University Press

The Eighty Years War

From Revolt to Regular War, 1568-1648

2019 || Hardcover || Olaf van Nimwegen e.a. || Leiden University Press

Staging China

The Politics of Mass Spectacle

2019 || Paperback || Florian Schneider || Leiden University Press

Cape Conflict

Protest and Political Alliances in a Dutch Settlement

2019 || Paperback || Teun Baartman || Leiden University Press

In the historiography of the period of Dutch rule in the Cape of Good Hope, from 1652 until 1795, Cape burghers are represented as the perpetual underdogs bristling against the rule of a restrictive Dutch East India Company (VOC). But was this relationship really so antagonistic?

The author places Cape colonial society in the wider context of the Dutch Republic and, in doing so, compares the political structures, institutions and dynamics of the Republic and its overseas settlement. He shows ...

Stijl, taal en tekst

Stilistiek op taalkundige basis

2019 || Paperback || Ninke Stukker e.a. || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar

Hoe kun je op wetenschappelijke wijze iets zeggen over de stijl van een literaire tekst? Hoe beoordeel je de effecten van stijlmiddelen in toespraken of in ander zakelijk taalgebruik?
