| Summary: | With the grand narrative of the Dutch Revolt and the Eighty Years War having been fundamentally rewritten within the last few decades, this review essay examines religious history from this very same era and considers whether the work in this field has followed suit. It first discusses the current conceptualisations of the (two) Netherlands', contrasting them in a second paragraph with the emergence of separate Dutch and Belgian national narratives on early modern religion. A third paragraph shows how most of the classic readings of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation have been deconstructed through a continuous comparison of North' and South' since the 1960s. A fourth and last section then argues that the current de-centering' is gradually remapping the religious geography and historiography of the (two) early modern Netherlands before 1648. |
