Although much less well known today than the works of painting, architecture, and music that can be appreciated without knowledge of the language, the literary production of the Dutch Republic was in fact remarkable, in both quality and quantity, and played a significant part in the lives of most urban dwellers in the country. Authors such as Roemer Visscher, Gerbrand Adriaensz Bredero, Pieter Cornelisz Hooft, Jacob Cats, and Joost van den Vondel gained fame during their lifetime. They developed a rich vernacular language, and their work contributed to the shaping of Dutch religious, political, and civic identities. The public function of literature was taken for granted. Poets and playwrights saw it as their primary task to instruct and delight audiences for the greater good of the community. This social dimension was visible in the propagation of civic and religious morals, in overt or oblique interventions in public debates, and in the glorification of the local, regional, or indeed national heritage. Nor was literature restricted to the elite. Scandals and public controversies drew raucous satires, just as natural disasters and military victories were commemorated in topical verse and song. Special occasions in a burgher’s life, such as marriages and births, were celebratedwith the recitation of poetry, andmen, women, and even children exchanged poems to offer consolation, convey thanks, or send New Year’s wishes. In all these ways literature helped create and maintain social bonds within the steadily expanding urban communities of the Dutch Republic. The social roles that literature played are reflected in the variety of media in which it was disseminated.

{"title":"Dutch Classicism in Europe","authors":"S. Bussels","doi":"10.1017/9781316771549.020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/9781316771549.020","url":null,"abstract":"At first glance, the Golden Age and classicism would not seem to be an obvious pairing. Of all the art produced in the Dutch Republic during the seventeenth century, the works which are viewed as paeans to the everyday are the ones that generally receive the most attention. Biblical and mythological subjects are framed as domestic genre scenes or usurped by painted still lifes, landscapes, and seascapes. In contrast, classicism harks back to Greco-Roman antiquity and strives for simplicity and harmony, but also monumentality and grandeur. All of this is far removed from the daily life that in the Republic was so often immortalized in paint. The prevalence of everyday life in the art of the Golden Age should, however, be qualified. Greco-Roman antiquity was, in reality, an important influence within the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic and often eclipsed the representation of daily life in painting, architecture, and the theatre. One of the most pre-eminent examples of classicism is the mid-century Huis ten Bosch, which was designed by Pieter Post as a retreat for Amalia van Solms, wife of the stadholder Frederick Henry (Figure 16.1). Hailed both at home and abroad, the commission conferred a semi-regal aura upon the House of Orange. The English envoy Samuel Pepys claimed that the central space, known as the Orange Hall, was the most impressive painted room that he had ever seen.
