Besprekingen
Kunstzaken : Over Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer en… door Simon Schama
Bundeling van artikelen die in de The New Yorker zijn verschenen.
Beschrijving van de culturele eigenaardigheden van de Nederlanden bij het begin van de Republiek; en de zoektocht naar de vorming van typerende gewoonten van de stedelijke elite
Typisch: voorlijkheid, in 2 generaties uitgegroeid tot wereldmacht, maar ook onbehaaglijk gevoel
spiegelt zich aan Huizinga's Herfsttij.
Interessante mentaliteitsstudie, met vooral accent op schilderkunst.

Interessante mentaliteitsstudie, met vooral accent op schilderkunst.
Zeer uitputtende behandeling van de Franse Revolutie. Grote theses: geweld was inherent aan de revolutie, zelfs de motor ervan; het was geen revolutie van de derde stand, maar van het verlichte deel van de adel (soms nogal geforceerd); de koning en koningin speelden een nefaste rol, maar werden groot onrecht aangedaan; Rousseau heeft de fundamenten gelegd voor de ontsporing van de revolutie
