The Embarrassment of Riches
''The Embarrassment of Riches: An interpretation of Dutch culture in the Golden Age'' is a book by the historian Simon Schama. It was published in 1987, five years after the bicentenary of the Dutch recognition of the young United States. The book sold quite well and led to an immediate second printing only a few months after its release. It was initially well received and did so well, it was translated into Dutch (Dutch title: ''Overvloed en Onbehagen:De Nederlandse cultuur in de Gouden Eeuw'') and published there in 1988, where it was also well received. The book is credited today with giving new insights into the Dutch poldermodel system of governance.
==Summary==
In his attempt to make a systematic overview of the Dutch Golden Age culture, Schama cites an eclectic list of period source materials from all over the world, including emblem books, period histories and novels, cookbooks, scientific discoveries, bankruptcy files, religious works, and period art including prints, paintings, sculpture, architecture and stained glass windows. He revisits Dutch Golden Age morals, from how they brought up their children, to how they mourned their dead. His conclusion is that through the continuous battle against the waters of the North Sea, the Dutch spirit can be summed up in the motto of Zeeland, scene of many floods from dike breaches, ''Luctor et Emergo'', or ''I struggle and emerge''. The book is easy to read and is more a group of separate essays than a cohesive unit, making it a good candidate for reading in short installments or as a quick reference for various aspects of the subject.
