'At the heart of Lisa Jardine's beautifully written and illustrated new book is a wonderfully vivid and richly layered account of 17th-century cultural interactions between England and the Dutch.' Times Higher Education 'In Lisa Jardine's stimulating survey of Anglo-Dutch cross-currents, the events of 1688, which put William, 'Stadtholder' of the Dutch Republic, on the English throne along with his wife Mary, are ultimately seen less as an invasion, and more as a merger of two societies with a great deal in common.' Waterstones Books Quarterly '[A] meticulous study...the essential point of the book...lies in its perception of a larger culture that joined Holland and England. They were united both in theory and in practice across a whole range of pursuits...It is a remarkable phase of 17th century culture that has generally been overlooked. In 'Going Dutch' it is brought back to life.' The Times 'An exciting vision and the way Jardine describes these 'circuits of transmission' makes one long to have been alive in the 17th century...[a] stimulating book [which] generates a long list of new questions.' Daily Telegraph 'Jardine remarks that her book has merely 'scratched the surface' of her chosen subject. This is unduly modest: in fact, it digs far deeper and unearths far more...than this recusatio would suggest. That there is more yet to be uncovered is not a criticism of this book, but a testimony to the extraordinary breadth, richness and complexity of the terrain its author has mapped out and made her own.' Literary Review 'Jardine has numerous beautifully researched tales to tell about the cultural exchanges which Hugyens facilitated...this fascinating study will and should inspire further research into our Dutch heritage.
