Publisher Synopsis
'In providing us with Lengendijk's plays in English translation and with scholarly commentary, Goggin and De Bruyn have made a contribution to Mennonite studies as well as to the wider scholarly world.'Keith L. Sprunger, The Mennonite Quarterly Review 'Comedy and Crisis, with illustrations that are illuminating here and there, provides a multifaceted overview and insight into the (inter)national context in which within which we must place and understand Langendijk's texts.' Anna de Haas, The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History Translated from Dutch, 'Comedy and Crisis, met hier en daar verhelderende illustraties, een veelzijdig overzicht van en inzicht in de (inter)nationalecontext waarbinnen we de teksten van Langendijk moeten plaatsen en begrijpen.' 'The wealth of knowledge that these essays bring together around the two pieces is impressive. They show that research at the intersection of cultural and literary history on the one hand and economic history on the other has been very productive in recent years... Hopefully, with this publication, international interest will reach a new peak.'Kornee van der Haven, Low Countries Historical ReviewTranslated from Dutch,'De rijkdom aan kennis die deze essays rond de twee stukken samenbrengen is indrukwekkend. Ze laten zien dat het onderzoek op het snijvlak van cultuur- en literatuurgeschiedenis enerzijds en economische geschiedenis anderzijds de afgelopen jaren heel productief is geweest... Hopelijk zal die internationale interesse met deze publicatie een nieuw hoogtepunt beleven.' Read more...
