Summary "Quotations from John L. Motley Works" by John Lothrop Motley is a collection of notable excerpts from Motley's historical writings, compiled during the late 19th century. The work primarily revolves around the intricate and tumultuous history of the Netherlands, reflecting on key events, figures, and themes such as war, religion, tyranny, and social issues during the struggle for Dutch independence. The quotations illustrate the complexity and depth of Motley's scholarship as he weaves together historical accounts with strong opinions and reflections. The opening of this collection features a brief introduction by the editor, David Widger, who highlights the accessibility and adaptability of the text through digital means like Project Gutenberg. It outlines the range of topics covered in Motley's work, especially focusing on the rise of the Dutch Republic and the various challenges faced, including religious persecution, political strife, and the impact of prominent figures like Charles V and William of Nassau, Prince of Orange. This initial portion reflects on the historical context and the philosophical undercurrents that influenced the period, setting the stage for the more detailed entries that follow in the subsequent chapters.
