Joost van den Vondel (1587-1679) was the most prolific poet and playwright of his age. During his long life, roughly coinciding with the Dutch Golden Age, he wrote over thirty tragedies. He was a famous figure in political and artistic circles of Amsterdam, a contemporary and acquaintance of Grotius and Rembrandt, and in general well acquainted with Latin humanists, Dutch scholars, authors and Amsterdam burgomasters. He fuelled literary, religious and political debates. His tragedy 'Gysbreght van Aemstel', which was played on the occasion of the opening of the stone city theatre in 1638, was to become the most famous play in Dutch history, and can probably boast holding the record for the longest tradition of annual performance in Europe. In general, Vondel’s texts are literary works in the full sense of the word, complex and inexhaustive; attracting attention throughout the centuries.

Politics and Aesthetics in European Baroque and Classicist Tragedy is a volume of essays investigating European tragedy in the seventeenth century, comparing Shakespeare, Vondel, Gryphius, Racine and several other vernacular tragedians, together with consideration of neo-Latin dramas by Jesuits and other playwrights. To what extent were similar themes, plots, structures and styles elaborated? How is difference as well as similarity to be accounted for? European drama is beginning to be considered outside of the singular vernacular frameworks in which it has been largely confined (as instanced in the conferences and volumes of essays held in the Universities of Munich and Berlin 2010-12), but up-to-date secondary material is sparse and difficult to obtain. This volume intends to help remedy that deficit by addressing the drama in a full political, religious, legal and social context, and by considering the plays as interventions in those contexts. Contributors are: Christian Biet, Jan Bloemendal, Helmer J. Helmers, Blair Hoxby, Sarah M. Knight, Tatiana Korneeva, Frans-Willem Korsten, Joel B. Lande, Russell J. Leo, Howard B. Norland, Kirill Ospovat, James A. Parente, Jr., Freya Sierhuis, Nienke Tjoelker and Emily Vasiliauskas.

Waarom vocht Erasmus, die streefde naar eenheid binnen de Kerk, veel theologische geschillen uit? Hij was een modern theoloog, die wilde afrekenen met de middeleeuwse manier van theologie bedrijven, iets wat hij ook in de 'Lof der Zotheid' deed. Dat leverde hem vijanden op, die bijvoorbeeld zijn werken rond het Nieuwe Testament bekritiseerden. Luther vond hij maar een heethoofd, die de eenheid in gevaar bracht. In dit deel van 'Verzamelde werken' worden enkele van Erasmus’ theologische werken bij elkaar gebracht, waaronder zijn 'Handboek', zijn theologisch manifest, gebaseerd op een allegorische bijbeluitleg, een 'Oproep' om de Bijbel te lezen (ook voor de gewone man en vrouw), een preek, 'Gods onmetelijke barmhartigheid', een strijdschrift tegen Luther, 'Over de vrije wilskeuze', en een paar passages uit de 'Parafrasen', Erasmus’ hervertelling van het Nieuwe Testament.
