商品簡介
Few have tackled a biography of William III of England (1650-1702), says Dutch scholar Troost, probably because his aloof and reserved personality has not attracted much interest, and because such a work requires extensive knowledge about French and German as well as English history. He emphasizes his relationship with England, where the son of Mary Stuart I spent several months at the court of his English uncle Charles II before becoming Stadholder of five of the Dutch provinces in 1672, and thereafter constantly sought to bring England into his anti-French alliance. No publication information is provided for the original Stadhouder-koning Willem III, which was translated by J.C. Grayson. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
