Pieter Geyl and Britain
View through CrossRef
Pieter Geyl (1887—1966) was undoubtedly one of the most internationally renowned Dutch historians of the twentieth century, but also one of the most controversial. Geyl was an early example of a ‘public intellectual’ and remains one of the most influential thinkers on history of all time. This volume re-examines Geyl’s time in Britain, his relationship to both the Netherlands and Britain, and sheds new light on his multifaceted work as a historian, journalist, translator and political activist, his contemporary networks, as well as on his lasting legacy for British views of German, Dutch and Belgian history.
