Dutch Crossing

Volume 34 (2010), 3 issues per year

Aims

Dutch Crossing published since 1977, is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, devoted to all aspects of Low Countries Studies: Dutch language and literature, history and art history of the Low Countries, the social sciences and cultural studies, and Dutch as a foreign language. It also publishes conference papers, research reports, book reviews and occasionally, English translations of Dutch literary works. Coverage includes both the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as other places where Dutch historically had or continues to have an impact, including parts of the Americas, Southern Africa and South-East Asia. A special focus concerns relations between the Low Countries and the English-speaking world in all periods from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Dutch Crossing aims to encourage research and intellectual exchange, to disseminate scholarly work by younger as well as established researchers, and to enhance the profile of Low Countries Studies and of Dutch and Flemish culture in the English-speaking world. All articles are in English and blindly peer-reviewed by at least one referee.

Thematic issues have been produced on such topics as Anglo-Dutch relations in the 17th Century; Williamite Scotland and the Dutch Republic; contemporary Dutch women writers; Frisian culture; Landscape Painting; Literary Translation and Medieval Drama.

A cumulative index of the years 1977-2008 is available here.
