Abstract

This article considers the Deventer identification with the Hanse as an interregional identity that for the most part existed outside the borders of the Dutch Republic, in order to nuance and extend the discussion on the formation of a proto-national Dutch identity in the seventeenth century. There will be a particular focus on the role of history writing and conceptions of time in relation to seventeenth century identity formation.
