Groen van Prinsterer


Bruce Ashford reviews Van Prinsterer's Unbelief and Revolution:  How an Obscure Dutch Historian Helped Me Understand 2019

A new PhD on Van Prinsterer:

Schlebusch, J. (2018). Strategic narratives: Groen van Prinsterer as Nineteenth-Century Statesman Historian. [Groningen]: University of Groningen.

Through the application of Carr’s narrative approach to the study of Groen as simultaneously statesman and historian, for the first time a holistic picture of Groen as Anti-Revolutionary public figure emerges, casting new light on the political strategies behind his public engagement. This enables a fresh appreciation of Groen’s historical significance for constitutional democracy in the Netherlands
