Six hundred years ago, the Sint-Elisabethflood took place, one of the greatest flood disasters in Dutch history. This richly illustrated book examines the creation of myths and the cultural representation of the disaster.
During the night of 18 to 19 November 1421, the dikes broke around Dordrecht: many villages disappeared forever in the waves. This disaster still lives on in Dutch collective memory. This richly illustrated book examines the creation of myths and the cultural representation of the disaster.
