Description

Holland, tulip mania, a flower worth a fortune. Dumas’s Black Tulip is Cornelius in prison, Rosa at the grate, and a bloom grown against politics. Jealousy, a cell, a petal. Romance in the shape of a prize. Haarlem’s prize, a brother ruined by politics, a girl who keeps a bulb alive. Dumas slows his usual swordplay into patience, jealousy, and a colour that should not exist. William of Orange’s Holland, a cell, a girl at the grate keeping a bulb alive against a brother’s ruin.
