Present-day scholarship holds that the Italian academies were the model for the European literary and learned society. This volume questions the ‘Italian paradigm’ and discusses the literary and learned associations in Italy and Spain – explicitly called academies – as well as others in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The flourishing of these organizations from the fifteenth century onwards coincided chronologically with the growth of performative literary culture, the technological innovation of the printing press, the establishment of early humanist networks, and the growing impact of classical and humanist ideas, concepts, and forms on vernacular culture. One of the questions this volume raises is whether and how these societies related to these developments and to the world of Learning and the Republic of Letters.

De rederijkerij vormt de grootste literaire beweging in de geschiedenis van de Lage Landen. Het letterkundig leven in de vijftiende, zestiende en het begin van de zeventiende eeuw werd door de rederijkers gedomineerd. Uit hun kring bleef een omvangrijke literatuur bewaard waarin op uiteenlopende wijze wordt verwezen naar het persoonlijke, literaire, religieuze, sociale en politieke leven tussen Middeleeuwen en Moderne Tijd. De rederijkers kenden hun eigen organisaties, de rederijkerskamers. Vrijwel iedere stad in Brabant, Vlaanderen, Zeeland en Holland telde er een. Ze hadden een centrale plaats in het web van stedelijke culturele instellingen, gaven vorm en inhoud aan de feestcultuur en droegen bij aan de gedachtewisseling en meningsvorming op velerlei gebied. In deze bundel wordt vanuit verschillende invalshoeken naar de rederijkers gekeken. Het gaat om de bijdragen aan een congres dat in 2001 in Middelburg werd gehouden ter afsluiting van een samenwerkingsproject van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam en de Universiteit Gent.
