History of the Low Countries

Dutch Crossing
...a welcome addition to the historical literature on Belgium and the Netherlands, for...there is no good one-volume history of the Low Countries available...The chapters are written by some of the foremost specialists in their fields, and provide excellent summaries of our present views of the periods in question.

James D. Tracy, University of Minnesota
...eminently readable and...solidly based in contemporary scholarship.

Boston University
The editors...should be congratulated for maintaining a very high degree of stylistic consistency...I very much welcome an English-language translation of this important book.

As the history of the smaller European countries has been rather neglected in the teaching of European history at the university level, this volume represents the first comprehensive history of the Low Countries in English Remaining politically and culturally fragmented - with its inhabitants speaking Dutch, French, Frisian, and German - the Low Countries offer a fascinating picture of European history en miniature. This well-illustrated volume serves as an introduction to the rich history of the Low Countries for students and the generally interested reader alike.
