Download or read book In the Shadow of the Company: The Dutch East India Company and its Servants in the Period of its Decline (1740-1796) written by Chris Nierstrasz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there any truth in the story that the morality of the servants of the Dutch East India Company in the eighteenth century was so rotten that one should believe the Dutch maxim ‘Vergaan Onder Corruptie’ – in translation something like ‘Succumbed to Corruption’ – and use this as an explanation for a very complex phenomenon? Chris Nierstrasz introduces us in his In the Shadow of the Company, to the realities of the decision makers and of the servants in the field. Responding to the changing realities in Asia, the Company could only try to use the mercantile potential of its higher echelons to postpone its downfall. In a situation in which the directors were not able to increase investment from Holland, the servants in Asia were forced to take up the challenge.

Download or read book Piracy and Privateering in the Golden Age Netherlands written by V. Lunsford and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-06-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting scholarly work examines Dutch maritime violence in the seventeenth-century. With its flourishing maritime trade and lucrative colonial possessions, the young Dutch Republic enjoyed a cultural and economic pre-eminence, becoming the leading commercial power in the world. Dutch seamen plied the world's waters, trading,exploring, and colonizing. Many also took up pillaging, terrorizing their victims on the high seas and on European waterways. Surprisingly, this story of Dutch freebooters and their depredations remains almost entirely untold until now. Piracy and Privateering in the Golden Age Netherlands presents new data and understandings of early modern piracy generally, and also sheds important new light on Dutch and European history as well, such as the history of national identity and state formation, and the history of crime and criminality.

This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie, the Dutch East India Company) was the largest of the early modern European trading companies operating in Asia. Its operations produced not only warehouses packed with spices, coffee, tea, textiles, porcelain and silk, but also shiploads of documents. Data on political, economic, cultural, religious, and social conditions spread over an enormous area circulated between the VOC establishments, the administrative centre of the trade in Batavia, now the city of Jakarta, and the Board of Directors in the Netherlands. The co-operation between the National Archives of Indonesia and the Netherlands resulted in this extensive catalogue of fifteen archives of VOC institutions in Jakarta. The VOC records are included in UNESCO ́s Memory of the World Register.

Download or read book Living in Posterity written by Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen and published by Uitgeverij Verloren. This book was released on 2004 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living in Posterity, presented to Bart Westerweel on his retirement as Professor of Early Modern English literature at the University of Leiden, brings together thirty-nine essays on a wide variety of subjects and themes. The contributors, scholars from the Netherlands end abroad, have drawn inspiration from the many dualities that are characteristic of Westerweel's work, such as word/image, Anglo/Dutch, familiar/other, traditional/modern, and form/function. The result is a colourful mosaic of essays on history, culture, art and literature from the first century to the modern era. The binding theme of this richly diverse book lies in the idea of the continuity between the past and the present, the cohesion between what was and what is. As such, Living in Posterity is part of the larger project of the humanities to engage sympathetically with the past - to speak with the dead and keep history alive.

Download or read book Een leven in de West written by W.E. Renkema and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bij het herstel van het Nederlandse gezag over de kolonie Curaçao in 1816, kwam een nieuw garnizoen van meer dan 350 militairen uit Europa op Curaçao aan. Een van de officieren was de twintigjarige kapitein R.F. van Raders. Bijna dertig jaar lang bleef hij werkzaam op het eiland: eerst als garnizoensofficier, daarna als adjudant van de gouverneur en vervolgens als garnizoenscommandant. De laatste negen jaren van zijn verblijf op Curaçao (1836-1845) bekleedde Van Raders de hoogste bestuurlijke functie, die van gezaghebber. Economisch gezien vormde de periode 1816-1845 een moeilijke tijd voor de kolonie. Op Curaçao kon de oude overslaghandel zijn vroegere bloei niet herwinnen. Van raders legde bij zijn aantreden als gezaghebber aan de minister van Koloniën een welvaartsplan voor. Curaçao zou voortaan met eigen agrarische exportproducten de scheepvaart gaan bevorderen. Met groot enthousiasme probeerde Van Raders de teelt van nieuwe producten ingang te doen vinden. Hoewel tegenslagen en tegenwerking de uitvoering van zijn plannen van meet a aan vergezelden, bleef de gezaghebber overtuigd van de juistheid van zijn inzichten. Tot dusver onderbelichte onderwerpen in de West-Indische geschiedschrijving komen in Een leven in de West; Van Raders en zijn werkzaamheden op Curaçao aan bod. Voor het eerst wordt het leven en de maatschappelijke positie van garnizoensmilitairen op Curaçao beschreven. Wim Renkema heeft diepgaand onderzoek verricht in overheidsarchieven, wat geleid heeft tot nieuwe vondsten, bijvoorbeeld over de wijze waarop Van Raders het streven naar gelijkberechtiging van de rooms-katholieke bevolkingsgroep steunde. Eerst waren er niet meer dan algemeenheden over Van Raders bekend, maar nu is zijn carrière voor het eerst uitgebreid onderzocht. Voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de geschiedenis van de Caraïben en in het bijzonder Curaçao is Een leven in de West een aanrader.

Download or read book John de Witt, Grand Pensionary of Holland, 1625-1672 written by Herbert Harvey Rowen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known to his contemporaries for his sharpness of mind, strength of purpose, fortitude, and good humor, John de Witt was a brilliant leader whose career ended in a death of horror rarely paralleled in history. Herbert Rowen's biography embraces all aspects of De Witt's political, intellectual, and personal life, including his role as a mathematician admired by Newton, an "unphilosophical Cartesian," and a political thinker. The author describes De Witt's youth, Dutch society of his day, and his central part in the domestic and foreign politics of the Dutch Republic from 1651 to 1672. He puts De Witt's relation to the House of Orange in a new light, more subtle than in the traditional history. He also examines in detail De Witt's system of government as councilor pensionary of Holland. Originally published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's word illumines the darkness of society. Dutch politician and historian Groen van Prinsterer's Unbelief and Revolution is a foundational work addressing the inherent tension between the church and secular society. Writing at the onset of modernity in Western culture, Groen saw with amazing clarity the dire implications of abandoning God's created order for human life in society. Groen's work served as an inspiration for many contemporary theologians, and he had a profound impact on Abraham Kuyper's famous public theology. In Challenging the Spirit of Modernity, Harry Van Dyke places this seminal work into historical context, revealing how this vital contribution still speaks into the fractured relationship between religion and society. A deeper understanding of the roots of modern secularism and Groen's strong, faithful response to it gives us a better grasp of the same conflict today.
