The late seventeenth century Netherlands have traditionally been viewed as the intellectual entrepot of Europe in general, and for Scotland in particular. Scottish students flocked in large numbers to the Dutch universities, bringing back ideas and books which influenced Scottish learning well into the eighteenth century. This book is the first full-length study of Scots in the United Provinces between 1650 and 1750. It analyses their numbers at the Dutch universities, the education they received and the impact this had on Scottish learning, on the eve of the Enlightenment, showing that the Scottish-Dutch relationship provided the infrastructure, which allowed Scotland to take part in a wider Republic of Letters and that its culture was increasingly characterised by it.

Pain studies, both in exact sciences and in the humanities, are a fast-shifting field. This volume condenses a spectrum of recent views of pain through the lens of humanistic studies. Methodologically, the volume is an interdisciplinary study of the questions pertaining to the accessibility of pain (physical or emotional) to understanding and of the possible influence of suffering on the enhancement of knowledge in private experience or public sphere. Undeterred by the widespread belief that pain cannot be expressed in language and that it is intransmissible to others, the authors of the essays in the collection show that the replicability of records and narratives of human experience provides a basis for the kind of empathetic attention, dialogue, and contact that can help us to register the pain of another and understand its conditions and contexts. Needless to say, the improvement of this understanding may also help map the ways for the ethics of response to (and help for) pain. Whereas the authors of the volume tend to share the view of pain as a totally negative phenomenon (the position taken in Elaine Scarry’s The Body in Pain ), they hold this view applicable mainly to the attitudes to the pain of others and the imperative of minimise the causes of another’s suffering. They also consider this view to be culturally and temporally circumscribed. The volume suggests that one’s own personal experience of suffering, along with the awareness of the seriality of such experience among fellow sufferers, can be conducive to emotional and intellectual growth. The reading of literature dealing with pain can lead to similar results through vicariously experienced suffering, whose emotional corollaries and intellectual consequences may be conveyed through artistic rather than discursive means. The distinctive features of the volume are that it processes these issues in a historicising way, deploying the history of the ideas of pain from the Middle Ages to the present day, and that it makes use of the methodology of different disciplines to do so, arriving to similar conclusions through, as it were, different paths. The disciplines include analytic philosophy, historiography, history of science, oral history, literary studies, and political science.

Wie heeft niet de droom te emigreren naar het zuiden van Frankrijk waar het klimaat beter, de mensen minder gehaast, de omgeving weidser, de natuur meer aanwezig, en de algehele stemming vrolijker is? Ontmoet Simone, een 34-jarige vrouw die de stap waagt om in het zuiden van Frankrijk een nieuw leven te beginnen. Samen met haar man en twee kinderen koopt ze een bouwvallig landhuis om op te knappen, erin te wonen en een deel ervan te verhuren als chambres d'hôtes. De werkelijkheid haalt de droom in. Waar haal je goede werklui vandaan in een vreemd dorp waar je nog niet eens de bakker weet te vinden? Hoe stel je je kinderen gerust die de taal nog niet machtig zijn en al hun vriendjes hebben moeten achterlaten? Hoe houd je je relatie opwindend terwijl de stress van de verbouwing steeds zwaarder op je schouders drukt? Terwijl de hectiek in en om het huis steeds groter wordt vlucht Simone - die er genoeg van heeft haar leven continu aan dat van haar man aan te passen - in een hartstochtelijke affaire met de aantrekkelijke twintigjarige Michel. Ze raakt daarbij echter langzaam maar zeker de controle over haar eens zo georganiseerde leven kwijt.
