Professor Lisa Jardine will explore the relationship of competition and assimilation between the Netherlands and England during the 17th century. She will reveal the ways in which Dutch tolerance, resilience and commerciality conquered Britain and reshaped its intellectual landscape – long before William Prince of Orange came over from Holland in 1688 to claim the English throne.
