Routledge Dissident Identities in Early Modern Low Countries - Routledge

Explore the emergence of new political and religious identities in the early modern Netherlands through this comprehensive collection of essays by Alastair Duke, a leading scholar of the period. This Routledge volume brings together updated selections of previously published work alongside one entirely new chapter and two essays appearing in English for the first time. Duke's research examines the profound impact of religious change on political events, building on his foundational work Reformation and Revolt in the Low Countries (1990). The collection analyses how dissident identities developed during this transformative era, offering critical insights into how religious upheaval reshaped political structures and social divisions across the Low Countries. Essential reading for historians, scholars, and students of early modern European history, religious reformation, and the cultural dynamics of the Netherlands during this pivotal period of change and conflict.
