Holland en de oorlog by Albert Verwey
"Holland en de oorlog" by Albert Verwey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides a reflection on the implications of World War I from a Dutch perspective, exploring themes of neutrality and national identity in relation to the broader conflict. It delves into the complexities of war, neutrality, and the philosophical considerations that arise during times of upheaval. The opening of the work presents a foreword
in which Verwey describes his motivation for writing in response to the outbreak of the war. He expresses a desire to clarify his thoughts on the relationship between Holland and the war, indicating that his reflections will circle around two central themes: the notion of Holland and its unwavering historical connection to its identity, and the destructive impact of the war on global society and relationships. Verwey notes that the form of his writing may be fragmented but conveys essential truths about the war's effects on the nation and its people, encouraging readers to consider the ideas in their entirety rather than in isolation.
