Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- 1. Introduction -- 2. The Importance of the History of Philology , or the Unprecedented Impact of the Study of Texts -- 3. 'Dutch Language and Literature' (and other 'national philologies') as an example of discipline formation in the humanities -- 4. Between academic discipline and societal relevance -- 5. Fruin's Aristocracy -- 6. Biblical Philology and Theology -- 7. Linguistics as a profession -- 8. 'Remember Dousa!' -- 9. Beam of a many-coloured spectrum -- 10. Trifles for 'Unflemings' -- 11. The Relations of Jacob Grimm with the 'Koninklijk-Nederlandsch Instituut van Wetenschappen, Letterkunde en Schoone Kunsten' -- Acknowledgements -- Index
Summary: Dutch scholarship has played an important role in philology since the early days of Leiden University. This volume illuminates how philology and its focus on the critical examination of classical texts-a tradition that had previously exerted considerable influence across fields as diverse as theology, astronomy, law, and politics-began an accelerated process of specialization in the 1800s. As former subareas like linguistics and history branched off into independent fields with their own methodologies, philology found its authority narrowing in scope within newly defined boundaries. Providing a fresh perspective on the evolution of Dutch philology as a discipline in the humanities, this is a fascinating look at a historically vital field of thought.
