Abstract
Exile Memories and the Dutch Revolt. The Narrated Diaspora, 1550–1750
Highlights
For example, the Antwerp exile Jacob Duym published his Ghedenck-boeck, a series of belligerent plays that showcased the persecutions and the treachery of the Spaniards to argue against a truce with Spain
Müller uncovered traces of Dutch exile memories well into the eighteenth century, countering the received wisdom that early modern migrants quickly integrated into their host societies and forgot about their homeland
The memory of exclusiveness and persecution became a template the Puritans could adopt to describe their own precarious situation. German Pietists in Frankfurt likewise borrowed the narrative of wandering pilgrims from the Reformed stranger churches, while descendants of Dutch exiles played a key role in emerging Pietist networks
Summary
For example, the Antwerp exile Jacob Duym published his Ghedenck-boeck, a series of belligerent plays that showcased the persecutions and the treachery of the Spaniards to argue against a truce with Spain. The Dutch Revolt produced one of the largest exile waves of the early modern period.
