Through the identification of particular enemies, it directed attention away from competing regional, religious, and political loyalties. Patriotic Protestant authors highlighted atrocities committed by the Spanish and lower-class criminals. They conversely cast Dutch men as protectors of their wives and daughters – an appealing characterization that allowed the Dutch to take pride in a sense of moral superiority and justify the Dutch Revolt. After the conclusion of peace with Spain in 1648, marginalized authors, including Catholic priests and literary women, employed depictions of rape to subtly advance their own agendas without undermining political stability. Rape was thus essential in the development and preservation of a common identity that paved the way for the Dutch defeat of the mighty Spanish empire and their rise to economic pre-eminence in Europe.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;v. 172.RapePolitical aspectsNetherlandsHistory17th centuryRape in literaturePatriotismNetherlandsHistory17th centuryGroup identityPolitical aspectsNetherlandsHistory17th centurySex rolePolitical aspectsNetherlandsHistory17th centuryReligion and politicsNetherlandsHistory17th centuryPolitical cultureNetherlandsHistory17th centuryNetherlandsPolitics and government1556-1648NetherlandsPolitics and government1648-1795SpainForeign public opinion, DutchElectronic books.RapePolitical aspectsHistoryRape in literature.PatriotismHistoryGroup identityPolitical aspectsHistorySex rolePolitical aspectsHistoryReligion and politicsHistoryPolitical cultureHistory364.15/320949209032Pipkin Amanda(Amanda Cathryn)915855MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452391503321Rape in the republic, 1609-17252053106UNINA
