Synopsis

Vantage Points is a collection of essays concerning approaches to Dutch and Flemish literature, both present and past. They are offered by distinguished American and European colleagues in honor of Johan P. Snapper of the University of California at Berkeley on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. This volume represents an outstanding cross-section of current research on the literature, art, and culture of the Low Countries (Netherlands and Belgium). The articles cover a range of topics from the purely literary to broader artistic, sociocultural, and philosophical questions. Dutch and Flemish poetry, from the seventeenth century epic through the classical period and on to symbolist, modern, and postmodern poetry in the twentieth century is particularly well represented, as is prose fiction from eighteenth century spectators to the modern Dutch colonial fiction of Indonesia and the recent novels attempting to come to grips with the aftermath of World War II. Co-published with the American Association for Netherlandic Studies. Contributors: Wiljan van den Akker, Gillis Dorleijn, Ton Anbeek, E.M. Beekman, Hugo Brems, Ton Broos, Francis Bulhof, Joris Duytschaever, Redbad Fokkema, Jaap Goedegebuure, Marcel Janssens, Wiel Kusters, Margriet Lacy, AndrÈ Lefevere, Anne Marie Musschoot, Clem Neutjens, Reinier Salverda, Jolanda Vanderwal Taylor, Manfred Wolf.
