Elsewhere (p. 72), Herbert described the 16th century revolt of the Netherlands against Spain as follows: ‘Originating in religious conflict, the Dutch rebellion passed into an assertion of national individuality on the one hand, and a demand for political liberty—what modern politicians would call “self-determination” —on the other. In the same struggle with Spain, English nationality was not born, but brought to manhood’. It is difficult to reconcile these and still other assessments with Herbert's later statement (p. 76): ‘To sum up: the world on which the French Revolution was about to break was one in which nationality played but a small part’.
