Friendship, Admiration, or Hatred? The Image of the United Provinces in the Travel Diaries of the Czech Nobility (1650-1750)

Original language description

The Czech nobility weren´t looking for friendship in the N. Netherlands between 1600 and 1750, as there weren´t many people there they could make friendly contact with. The local elite were made up of merchants from the town establishment. If they did make any friends on their short visits, they were recruited from the diplomatic cream of society in The Hague during these times. Thus the Czech aristocracy admired some things in the Netherlands and its people, and hated others. Admiration was inspired bythe economic successes of the traders, ports full of boats, stores full of goods, the best lawyers in Leiden, clean towns and houses, the landscape with its canals and gardens. Words of praise always tended to be directed at the aesthetic form of thesethings, rather than their creators. The Dutch suffered condemnation by the Czech nobles, and in their words we can even read hatred for a nation which did not respect the higher social status of the aristocrats and made life so complicate
