Description: Already in the introduction, J.F. Helmers (1767-1813) called De Hollandsche Natie a manifesto of nationalism.In 1812, the year of publication, this attitude could not help but turn out wrong: the French rule was crushing any form of national self-consciousness, and even after censorship intervened, the poem was still considered dangerous - reason for an imperial arrest warrant in 1813. Helmers ultimately passed away before he could be transported to Paris.Dutch nationalism - The Netherlands - poetry - Felix Meritis - Concordia et Libertate - Bataafsche Maatschappij van Taal- en Dichtkunde - Dutch literature - Napoleon Bound in half leather and decorative paper, 14.9 x 9.7 cm.
