Journal of Dutch Literature The Journal of Dutch Literature is an English-language, peer-reviewed periodical devoted to scholarship on Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname, South Africa, and Indonesia literatures in the Dutch language. Founded in the early 21st century and published by Brill, the journal publishes articles, review essays, and critical editions that engage with authors, movements, and texts from the medieval Middle Ages through contemporary periods such as the Dutch Golden Age and postcolonial eras including Decolonization of Indonesia and Apartheid. Contributors include scholars affiliated with institutions like Leiden University, University of Amsterdam, Ghent University, Utrecht University, and Radboud University Nijmegen.
The journal emerged amid renewed international interest in Dutch studies following conferences at Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, symposia hosted by International Association for Dutch Studies, and projects funded by bodies such as the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research and the European Research Council. Early editorial boards featured scholars connected to Meertens Institute, NIAS (Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study), and the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands, bringing together medievalists, early modernists, and modernists influenced by debates exemplified at venues like Princeton University, Columbia University, Sorbonne University, and Cambridge University. Special issues have responded to anniversaries tied to figures including Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, Joost van den Vondel, Multatuli, Harry Mulisch, and Hella S. Haasse.
The journal covers philology, textual criticism, reception studies, and cultural analysis engaging with authors such as Gerard Reve, Willem Frederik Hermans, Louis Couperus, Annie M.G. Schmidt, Simon Vestdijk, C. Buddingh' and E. du Perron. Periods include medieval texts like works attributed to Hadewijch and Jacob van Maerlant, early modern drama and poetry tied to Dutch Republic figures, and colonial literature linked to Multatuli and Karel van het Reve. The journal also publishes work on translation histories involving Paul Claudel, T. S. Eliot, and Virginia Woolf reception in Dutch, as well as comparative studies with German literature, French literature, English literature, Afrikaans literature, and Indonesian literature. Thematic issues address topics from manuscript studies connected to University of Ghent Special Collections to performance history at venues like Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg.
The editorial board comprises editors and associate editors drawn from universities including Leiden University, University of Amsterdam, Ghent University, KU Leuven, Utrecht University, and Radboud University Nijmegen. An advisory board has included scholars affiliated with Humboldt University of Berlin, Yale University, Princeton University, McGill University, and University of Cape Town. Submissions undergo double-blind peer review coordinated by managing editors and external referees, often scholars who have participated in panels at Modern Language Association, European Society for Textual Scholarship, and Association for Dutch Literature Studies. Review policies adhere to standards promoted by organizations such as Committee on Publication Ethics.

Access models include subscription and hybrid open access arrangements compatible with funder mandates from bodies like the European Research Council, Wellcome Trust, and national funding agencies such as the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research.
