NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Practice of Philology in the Nineteenth-Century Netherlands

In the nineteenth century, the practice of philology was passing a crucial phase of change in both its object of study and in its methods. Texts in the vernacular and national philologies attracted more and more attention of the public, and 'neo-philology' succeeded in taking over the central position traditionally occupied by classical philology. Subfields such as 'linguistics', 'edition technique' and 'history' grew into new, more-or-less independent (sub-)disciplines, whereas scientific methods such as stemmatology and comparative approaches were introduced in the humanities at large. These fascinating processes of change and the search for new boundaries in Dutch philology are highlighted in this book, the first on this topic in the English language.
