During the seventeenth century, the Dutch were at the forefront of social change, economics, the sciences and art. In "Dutch Culture in the Golden Age", eminent historian J. L. Price goes beyond the standard descriptions of the cultural achievements of the Dutch in their century of greatness by placing the culture in its social context. The central argument of the book is that, alongside the innovative tendencies in Dutch society and culture, there were powerful conservative and even reactionary forces at work, and that it was the tension between these two contradictory impulses that gave the period its peculiar dynamic.
