'This collection of essays opens up a neglected aspect of the French Revolution: the experiences of those who fled abroad and their efforts to come to terms with the societies in which they found themselves. It throws a new light on the diversity and complexity of a subject that has too often been taken for granted.' - Norman Hampson, Professor Emeritus, University of York 'Like political refugees throughout history, those who emigrated from Revolutionary France have received short shrift from historians of the period. Too often they have been presented as rather lifeless stereotypes, the stuff of revolutionary and counter-revolutionary legends, to be praised by royalists and reviled by radicals. This timely collection of essays discusses the Aemigres as individuals and examines their diverse experiences across widely contrasting European societies. In the process it helps to show them as men and women forced by circumstance to make hard and painful choices.' - Alan Forrest, Professor of History, University of York
