"History of Holland" by George Edmundson is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the significant events and transformations in the maritime province of Holland, particularly during its War of Independence and the subsequent historical developments of the Dutch state and people. It appears to provide a comprehensive overview of the socio-political landscape of Holland, reflecting on its feudal history and the enduring resilience of its people against various foreign dominations. At the start of "History of Holland," Edmundson outlines the context for the historical narrative, detailing the unique geographic characteristics of the region and their influence on the character of the Dutch people. He introduces key historical figures, including the Counts of Holland and the prominent role that the province played during the Burgundian period and beyond. The narrative establishes a foundation for understanding the complexities of Holland's governance, the emergence of factional conflicts like those between the Hooks and the Cods, and the impactful dynastic competitions that shaped its historical trajectory. The beginning not only sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Holland's history but also highlights the social and economic dynamics that contributed to its eventual independence and national identity.
