| Summary |
"De complete werken van Joost van Vondel" is a comprehensive collection of literary works written in the early 17th century. This anthology showcases Vondel’s poetic genius, highlighting themes of redemption and triumph, as seen in his work relating the liberation of the Dutch provinces to the biblical deliverance of the Israelites. Notable characters and concepts, such as historical figures and allegorical references, populate his poetry. The opening of the work presents a comparison between the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage and the liberation of the Dutch provinces from Spanish rule. In vivid verse, the poet draws parallels between figures like Pharaoh and King Philip II of Spain, illustrating the struggles and cries for freedom faced by both the Israelites and the Dutch people. The lyrical themes encapsulate a rich tapestry of religious and national pride, setting the stage for Vondel’s exploration of virtue, suffering, and divine intervention throughout the collection.
