Reviews

For any reader interested in the phenomenon of Emigration this book is a must, and it is a necessary addition to any French Revolution course bibliography or library holdings. ... This book's greatest contribution is to underscore just how different the situations of the many individual emigres were in Britain, and how hard it is to make a study of them as a group without making gross generalizations on both sides of the politico-cultural Franco-British equation/divide. (Kirsty Carpenter, H-France Review, Vol. 18 (34), 2018)
