Description: Doornspijk, Davaco Publishers, 2000. 2 vols. XXII,985 pp. 185 ills (2 in colour) on [126] plts. Uniform hardcovers d./j. (Davaco Collection). - - New copy !!The Golden Age Revisited examines Houbraken's life, art, and theology before proceeding to the historiography, anecdotes, social and professional thought, art theory, art history, proto-feminism, and overall achievement of his Great Theatre. Hundreds of passages in English translation demonstrate Houbraken's great strengths as a thinker, storyteller, and human being. The book concludes with the reception of his magnum opus in modern scholarship, especially in that of the last two decades. One outcome of the closing chapters is to make Houbraken's Enlightenment thought look very strong in comparison.
