The same qualities are not found amongst the French or the German writers of this period, simply because in these countries political life was not developed ^ As Vondel says in one of his beautiful poems:, . Aan d' Amstel en het IJ, daar doet zich heerlijk open, Zij die als Koningin de kroon draagt van Europe" — and many other examples from Dutch literature can be quoted. We may say, that the greatness of Dutch literature goes together with the greatness of the capital Amsterdam [this does not ...apply to Flemish literature, well described by Delepierre, the sceue of which is mostly in Antwerp, or Ghent, or another Flemish city of the Southern Netherlands]. — 27 — at all, or at least not so developed as in England [Remem- ber for instance that even in the beginning of this century, in Napoleonic times, Goethe sat calmly in Weimar, wri- ting his /, Wes(-oestlicher Divan", while the guns were roaring in the neighbourhood of his native city !] This observation must be applied above all to Daniel Foe (or Defoe) and to Jonathan Swift, so that it even remains doubtful whether these two authors ought to be classed among the political, or among the literary men of their own times.
