Abstract

Over a period of two hundred years, between c. 1450 and c. 1650, the Catholic religious literature of Delft in the Netherlands underwent consecutive stages of growth, crisis and (to a certain extent) rebirth. All this occured in the face of relentless social, political and cultural change, and amidst alternating periods of stability and turmoil. Yet despite a number of set-backs, Delft's Catholic religious literature displayed a surprising continuity, not only surviving, but even attaining a small "Golden Age" of its own in the first decades of the 17th century. This study documents that "struggle for survival" by presenting a broad synthesis of the production and reception of Catholic religious literature in Delft within in a range of literary-historical and cultural contexts.
