Attribution
Lisa JardinePublication Details
Book1st U.S. edHarper2008Description
Going Dutch demonstrates how individuals, such as Christopher Wren, Isaac Newton, and successive generations of the remarkable Huygens family, who were usually represented as isolated geniuses working in the enclosed environment of their native country in fact developed their ideas within a context of the easy Anglo-Dutch relations that laid the vital groundwork for the European Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution. Going Dutch not only challenges conventional interpretations of England’s role in Enlightenment-era Europe but raises questions about the position in which post-empire Britain finds itself today.
