The author discusses in turn medieval mystical poetry, religious drama, and secular tales such as `Reynard the Fox`; the transmission of Renaissance verse-forms through Dutch to German poetry; the drama of Vondel; the popularity of the Dutch theatre in Scandinavia throughout the Seventeenth Century; and the modern poetic revival which began about the middle of the Nineteenth Century. Although not designed as a comprehensive history of the poetry of the Netherlands, the book provides a valuable introduction to its major achievements and characteristics. hard cover, size 14,5 x 22 cm , 376 pages
