Using extensive archive material from Britain and the Low Countries, Chris Joby demonstrates that Dutch was both written and spoken in a range of social domains including the church, work, learning, the home, diplomacy, the military and navy, and the court. Those who used the language included artisans and their families fleeing religious and economic turmoil on the continent; the Anglo-Dutch King, William III; and Englishmen such as the scientist, Robert Hooke. Jobys account adds both to our knowledge of the use of Dutch in the early modern period and multilingualism in Britain at this time Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Dutch language -- Social aspects -- Great Britain Multilingualism -- Great Britain -- History Dutch language -- History -- 16th century Dutch language -- History -- 17th century Dutch language -- History -- 18th century FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDY -- Scandinavian Languages (Other) Dutch language Dutch language -- Social aspects Multilingualism SUBJECT Great Britain -- History -- 1485- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056778 Subject Great Britain Genre/Form History Form Electronic book LC no. 2014043020 ISBN 9004285210 9789004285217
