Nederlandsche Volkskunde by Jos. Schrijnen
"Nederlandsche Volkskunde" by Jos. Schrijnen is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores various aspects of Dutch folklore and culture, aiming to document and analyze the traditional beliefs, customs, and practices of the Dutch people. It focuses on how these elements reflect the character and identity of the people of the Netherlands throughout history. The opening of this work sets the stage for a deep exploration ofDutch folk culture, reflecting a longing for the poetic and vibrant aspects of life that the author feels are diminishing in modern society. Schrijnen discusses the contrast between the richness of folklore and the starkness of contemporary life, highlighting the importance of cultural appreciation and understanding in rekindling national pride and unity. He notes the diverse influences that have shaped Dutch culture over centuries, including prehistory, Roman conquest, and the impact of Christianity, and establishes a structure for the systematic exploration of these topics throughout the subsequent chapters.
