While N350 gave students a general introduction to the contemporary
Low Countries, N450 will go into the history of the Low Countries
more specifically. Previous knowledge on the Low Countries is not
necessary. We will go through the history from the beginning until
today, by following a basic history survey and reading additional
excerpts of texts on/from the specific period. Within the history
framework, we will also focus on the development of the Dutch and
Belgian identity as they exist today and on the main streams in art
history.

Texts:  Schama, The Embarrassment of Riches, An interpretation
	of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age
