| Summary |
"De Wedergeboorte van Nederland" by B. D. H. Tellegen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the resurgence of the Netherlands following the collapse of French rule in the early 19th century, emphasizing the political and social developments during this transformative period. It delves into the political history and the significant societal changes that occurred from 1813 onwards, reflecting on the broader implications for Dutch identity and governance. At the start of this historical work, the author introduces the topic of the Netherlands’ rebirth after its subjugation to French control, detailing the historical context that led to this pivotal moment in Dutch history. The narrative highlights the internal conflicts and external pressures faced by the nation, alongside the rise of figures like the Prince of Orange, who played a crucial role in restoring the sovereignty of the Netherlands. Tellegen discusses the shortcomings of the old republic and explores the complicated relationship between the monarchy and the revolutionary ideals that emerged in the late 18th century, setting the stage for the further examination of the political landscape in subsequent chapters.
