While many sought temporary refuge from Spanish oppression in the Low Countries, others became part of a Dutch diaspora, developing their commercial, spiritual, and domestic lives in England. The category "Dutch" catalyzed questions about English self-definition that were engendered less by large-scale cultural distinctions than by uncanny similarities. Doppelgänger Dilemmas uncovers the ways England's real and imagined proximities with the Dutch played a crucial role in the making of English ethnicity. Marjorie Rubright explores the tensions of Anglo-Dutch relations that emerged in the form of puns, double entendres, cognates, homophones, copies, palimpsests, doppelgängers, and other doublings of character and kind. Through readings of London's stage plays and civic pageantry, English and Continental polyglot and bilingual dictionaries and grammars, and travel accounts of Anglo-Dutch rivalries and friendships in the Spice Islands, Rubright reveals how representations of Dutchness played a vital role in shaping Englishness in virtually every aspect of early modern social life. Her innovative book sheds new light on the literary and historical forces of similitude in an era that was so often preoccupied with ethnic and cultural difference. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCultural relations in literature 606 $aEthnicity in literature 606 $aNational characteristics, English, in literature 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zNetherlands 607 $aNetherlands$xRelations$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCultural relations in literature. 615 0$aEthnicity in literature. 615 0$aNational characteristics, English, in literature. 676 $a820.9/358492 700 $aRubright$b Marjorie$01042878 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459779703321 996 $aDoppelga?nger dilemmas$92467472 997 $aUNINA
