A major English-language edition of five central texts in the history of the political thought of the Dutch Revolt.
"The translation is excellent and because the reader is not distracted by archaic and awkward language, the documents' content and meaning emerge clearly...Van Gelderen's introduction represents a concise, admirable example of the virtues of the social history of political thought...This book is valuable not just for those interested in Dutch political theory, but also for those who argue and teach that knowing the historical context is essential for understanding political theory and how it evolves." Joyce M. Mastboom, Sixteenth Century Journal
