What are the most salient and sparking facts about the Netherlands? This updated edition of Discovering the Dutch tackles the heart of the question of Dutch identity through a number of essential themes that span the culture, history and society of the Netherlands. Running the gamut from the Randstad to the Dutch Golden Age, from William of Orange to Anne Frank, this volume uses a series of vignettes written by academic experts in their fields to address historical and contemporary topics such as immigration, tolerance, and the struggle against water, as well as issues of culture - painting, literature, architecture, and design among them. All chapters are written by academic experts in their fields who have extensive experience in explaining the many features of ŸDutchnessŒ to a foreign audience. Each chapter comes to life in vignettes that illustrate characteristic historical figures or essential aspects in Dutch culture and society from William of Orange and Anne Frank to Dutch cheese and the inevitable coffeeshop.

"Here friends of Anthony W. Johnson honour him as a re-embodiment of the polymathic artist-scholar figure once observable in Ben Jonson, on whom he has done some of his most distinctive work. Part I of the book reflects his strong grounding in English literature and culture of the seventeenth century, with essays, not only on Ben Jonson, but also on university drama, on grammar school drama, and on humanist literary taste. Part II responds to his pioneering flights of culture-imagological time-travel to other periods, with essays on riddles through the ages, on Matthew Arnold's doubts about Homeric pictorialism, and on anciently comic elements in George Gissing's urban fiction. Part III celebrates his importance, both as scholar and artist, for the present day, with essays extending imagological analysis to the singer Nick Drake, to the avant-garde Danish poet Morten Søkilde, and to Sean S. Baker's film Tangerine, plus a climactic celebration of Johnson's own performances on solo violin and guitar as augmented by self-recording"--

En mariant le nom de Mucha au papier à cigarette Job, celui de Cassandre au « Dubo/Dubon/Dubonnet » ou de Savignac à la vache Monsavon, l’affiche a imprimé dans l’imaginaire collectif la mémoire de la publicité artistique. Mais qui se souvient que Victor Hugo associa sa signature à l’Encre Triple noire (pourtant réputée indélébile), que Raoul Ponchon, dans Le Courrier français, abonna sa plume aux Pastilles Géraudel, que Cocteau posa dans Paris-Match pour les téléviseurs Ribet-Desjardins ? De grands noms des belles-lettres comme Valéry, Cendrars, Giono ou Queneau, ont signé des textes publicitaires – de très beaux textes. Un tenace destin d’oubli, symptomatique du scandale que constitue le mélange de la littérature pure, gratuite, avec la « littérature » intéressée et appliquée, pèse sur les innombrables contributions des écrivains à la publicité depuis le xixe siècle. Ce volume s’emploie à redessiner l’un des visages les plus méconnus de l’écrivain et à éclairer une zone d’ombre de la « condition littéraire ». On y découvrira une galerie de portraits insolites, un album de famille inédit, où se trouvent réunis des auteurs apparemment aussi peu apparentés que Zola et les Gautier, Sacha Guitry et Léon-Paul Fargue, Paul Reboux et Robert Desnos. On y trouvera des informations sur les motivations diverses qui ont suscité et suscitent encore aujourd’hui de telles collaborations avec les marques, la manière dont a été vécu et « géré » le grand écart entre les exigences de l’œuvre et celles de la promotion marchande, le rôle joué par la publicité dans l’économie de la carrière littéraire.
