Abstract

Almost one third of FranÃ§ois Valentynâs Oud en Nieuw Oost-IndiÃ«n is devoted to history, particularly the history of Dutch exploits and conquests in the East Indies, but also to the histories of Asian polities. This chapter considers Valentynâs historical discourse both from a rhetorical and a narrativistic angle. It aims to show how Valentyn conveys a historical master narrative of Dutch power in Asia, connecting it to the history of the Dutch Republic, while simultaneously separating the Asian histories he incorporated. Although elements of Valentynâs historical discourse were replicated in subsequent publications during the eighteenth century, this did not result in the establishment of a broadly shared Dutch imperial master narrative during the last period of the VOCâs existence (until 1799), probably because of the structure of Valentynâs book as a reference work.
