- catalog abstract ""Innocence Abroad explores the process of encounter that took place between the Netherlands and the New World in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The "discovery" of America coincided with the foundation of the Dutch Republic, a correspondence of central significance for the Netherlands. From the opening of their revolt against Habsburg Spain through the climax of their Golden Age, the Dutch looked to America - in political pamphlets and patriotic histories, epic poetry and allegorical prints, landscape painting and decorative maps - for a means of articulating a new national identity. This book demonstrates how the image of America that was fashioned in the Netherlands, and especially the twin themes of "innocence" and "tyranny," became integrally associated in Dutch minds with evolving political, moral, and economic agendas. It investigates the energetic Dutch response to the New World while examining, more generally, the operation of geographic discourse and colonial ideology within the culture of the Dutch Golden Age."--Jacket.".
