A stylish two-volume edition of the plays of Joost van den Vondel, published in 1939 and 1941 by Elsevier in Amsterdam. This edition forms part of the Bibliotheek der Nederlandsche Letteren series, produced in collaboration with leading literary institutions in the Netherlands and Flanders. The volumes are bound in half cloth with dark brown spines and gilt lettering. Volume II is in very good condition; Volume I shows clear but honest wear to the spine, consistent with age and use. The interiors of both volumes are clean, well-preserved, and structurally sound. A characterful pre-war edition of one of the most important figures in Dutch literature, appealing both for its literary significance and decorative presence.
