It reads a broad selection of early modern literary texts, some never before treated in Anglophone scholarship, in which the Dutch and the English wrote about each other and themselves. This interdisciplinary study brings to light the key affinities of these two nations: their embrace of liberty, turn toward Protestantism, and pursuit of commerce. It shows that as Catholic, colonial powers worked to prevent the rise of early modern Europe's two great Protestant states, those similarities--as well as a combination of English admiration, envy, and distrust of the Dutch--produced an emulous rivalry that remade the two nations and their literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Fleck\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of English at the University of Texas in El Paso, USA, where he specializes in Early Modern and Eighteenth-Century British literature and culture.
