Description

Dynastic Colonialism
explores the remarkable expansion of material culture within the broader network of the House of Orange-Nassau, in Europe as well as the wider world, during the early modern period. This book employs the concept of dynastic colonisation here to mean the dynasty's domination of lands and spaces in cultural ways which engendered political consequences, namely, to extend its sphere of influence both geographically and politically. Broomhall and Van Gent uncover the specific contexts in which women and men, of the House of Orange-Nassau, could use opportunities to advance their power by increasing its visibility in a variety of new lands and spaces.
