Quotes
“She explores the fascinating Anglo-Dutch relationship to answer how and why two sworn foes became friends so seamlessly. . . . A highly original work that will appeal to fans of Simon Schama’s The Embarrassment of Riches.”
- Publishers Weekly
“Going Dutch is elegant and thought-provoking. . . . Jardine evokes a dialogue of civilizations.”
- Jonathan Lopez, Associated Press
"Engaging . . . vivid. . . . Eschewing the narrow nationalism she sees as afflicting traditional histories . . . Jardine writes clearly and colloquially for the non-academic reader. . . . The book's handsome color illustrations make vivid the relationship she describes."
- Washington Post Book World
“Meticulous. . . . The essential point of the book lies in its perception of a larger culture that joined Holland and England. . . . It is a remarkable phase of 17th-century culture that has generally been overlooked or ignored. In Going Dutch it is brought back to life.”
- Peter Ackroyd, The Times (London)
