Faculty Member, Dutch language and literature
About
Working in the field of seventeenth-century Dutch literature, my dissertation asks the question how Dutch authors from the Golden Age profited from their authorship. My thesis shows how poetical production and social circumstances are interrelated through patronage.
The central casus is the authorship of the Amsterdam poet Jan Vos (1610-1667), whose poems partook of and shaped a relation of patronage with the Amsterdam city regents, although the patronage relation was founded on more roles than only the poethood itself; those of man of theatre, glazier and tolerant Roman Catholic.
