New issue of TSEG – The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History out now
Recently, Leuven University Press has issued a new edition of TSEG – The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History, the Dutch-Flemish academic journal on social and economic history.
The latest edition contains a lot of interesting articles, some authored by Posthumus fellows, among which an article by Reinder Klinkhamer on the response of the Deventer city authorities in the 15th century on moving a Hanseatic trade post from Bruges to their city, as well as an article by Piet van Cruyningen on the effects of the Napoleontic occupation on the land-owning nobility in Guelders and Overijssel.
The journal also includes thematic dossiers, which may be helpful to teachers and others interested for starting academic discussions on how issues can be viewed from several different points of view. In this edition, the main dossier is about the recent publication of Oorlog en ongelijkheid, een inclusieve geschiedenis van de Gouden Eeuw by Posthumus board member Marjolein ‘t Hart. The dossier comprises reflections by several historians on Marjolein’s publication, discussing how the Eighty Years’ War affected various parts of the population and the inclusiveness of ‘t Harts publication.
The TSEG is available online as a peer-reviewed open access journal on TSEG’s website; hard copy examples can be ordered from Leuven University Press. The journal contains articles in Dutch and in English, depending on the authors’ preferences.
