dc.description.abstractThis thesis showcases how Dutch images of Iberia in travel writing functioned within a larger, transnational web of such representations in the period 1750-1820. It does so by highlighting a largely neglected cohort of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Dutch travellers who were both aware of, and inspired by, British, French, and German travel literature on the Iberian peninsula. At the same time, they wrote in a Dutch tradition of representing Spain, heavily impacted by the events and later representations of the Eighty Year’s War. By analysing the writings of these Dutch travellers with the use of a theoretical framework inspired by imagology, this thesis illustrates the choices they made between Dutch and foreign traditions of representing the peninsula, and what they saw as its cruel bullfights, sensual women, and superstitious Catholics. The travelling of stereotypes and representations across national contexts, then, is a main theme of this study.
