Source material is drawn not only from books and political pamphlets but also from contemporary drama, poetry, portraits, prints, and medals. This enables the author to examine the imagery used by the supporters of the House of Orange, in particular the symbols of rebirth and regeneration which were deployed to propagate the restoration of the stadholderate in the person of William III.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Stern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719081165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719081163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Jill Stern","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981133152511,"sku":"9780719081163","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f75e6e8-d01c-4d58-ad86-4204246c48e0.jpg?v=1683253839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orangism-in-the-dutch-republic-joseph-bergin-9780719081163","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
