In 1975, a group of Dutch and British scholars published a conference volume of collected essays entitled Some Political Mythologies. That conference sought to examine the political myth as an object of historical study, particularly in the context of the tumultuous and exceptional history of the Low Countries. Thirty years later, a more diverse group of scholars gathered to re-examine the history of Dutch myth-making in light of developments in theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding the role of myths in national identity, moral geography, and community formation. The results of their efforts appear in this volume, Myth in History: History in Myth. The essays cover developments in history, anthropology, cartography, philosophy, art history, and literature as they pertain to how the Dutch historically perceived these myths and how the myths have been treated by previous generations of historians.

Laura Cruz, Ph.D. (2001) in History, University of California at Berkeley, is an Associate Professor of History at Western Carolina University. She has published works on Dutch political and economic culture, including The Paradox of Prosperity (Oak Knoll, 2008).
Willem Frijhoff (1942), studied history and social anthropology in Paris, and obtained his Ph.D. degree at Tilburg University (1981). He is a honorary professor of early modern history at the VU-University, Amsterdam. He published extensively on religious history and history of education in early modern Europe and colonial America. His latest book is Fulfilling God's Mission. The Two Worlds of Dominie Everardus Bogardus 1607-1647 (Brill, 2007).
