The Low Countries and the New World(S) ― Travel, Discovery, Early Relations

From a June 1996 interdisciplinary conference in New York, 19 selected papers reflect three currents in Netherlandic Studies: the traditional study of the language, literature and history; the cultural, historical, and linguistic studies of foreign language learners; and the response to some of their questions by specialists both within and beyond the Low Countries. They are not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
