(Alexander James William) 1806 1865 Morrison, Alexander James William History of the Revolt of the Netherlands — Complete Produced by David Widger "History of the Revolt of the Netherlands — Complete" by Friedrich Schiller is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The book delves into the significant political upheaval that led to the Netherlands' fight for independence from Spanish rule, exploring the key events and figures involved in this struggle. Schiller aims to illuminate the historical roots and complexities of the rebellion, emphasizing themes such as tyranny, freedom, and national identity. At the start of the narrative, Schiller shares his inspiration for documenting the revolt, attributing it to his enthusiastic response to previous works on the Belgian Revolution. He expresses his intention to craft a compelling history that captures the sentiments of the time while addressing the deficiencies he noticed in existing accounts. Schiller establishes an analytical framework, reflecting on the circumstances that led to the rebellion, and underscores the role of figures like William the Silent. He contrasts the peaceful nature of the Dutch people with the oppressive might of King Philip II of Spain, setting the stage for the unfolding revolution that began with minor grievances escalating into a fierce fight for liberty.
