The series is multidisciplinary in nature: it provides innovative research on politics, religion, arts, literature, economics, knowledge, colonial expansion, warfare, as well as on the intersection of these different topics. The series also has a special interest in transnational and comparative perspectives on the history and culture of the Netherlands. It welcomes ground-breaking studies both on the period’s better-known individuals and episodes (e.g. Rembrandt, Dutch Revolt) as well as less prominent, neglected, voices and perspectives (e.g. female, Jewish or Black histories).

The series editors are international scholars specialised in early modernity of the Netherlands. Several members of de editorial board are ACSEM members.
