| وصف الكتاب | This book examines diverse encounters between the British community and the thousands of French individuals who sought haven in the British Isles as they left revolutionary and Imperial France. This painstaking research into the emigrant archival and memorial presence in Britain uncovers a wealth of underused and alternative sources on this controversial population displacement. These include open letters and classified advertisements published in British newspapers, insurance contracts, as well as lists of addresses and passports drawn up by local authorities. These sources question the construction by British loyalists and French emigre elites of a stereotyped emigrant figure and their use of the trauma of forced displacement to advance ideological agendas. In fact, public and private discourses on governmental systems, foreigners, political and religious dissent, and the economic survival of French emigrants, demonstrate the heterogeneity of the responses to emigration in Britain. Ultimately, this book narrates a story in which the emigrant community and its host have been often unnoticeably yet fundamentally transformed by their encounter, in both practical and ideological domains. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | 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) "reboul's text is an essential reference for the revolution history specialist focusing on french emigration to britain. Such specialists will definitely wish to consult this text." (christopher coski, french review, vol. 92 (3), march, 2019), |
