Description:
Historians from throughout Europe rehabilitate those who fled the French Revolution, finding them to be, not tired remnants of a lost civilization, but a broad range of people engaged in an enterprise buoyed by the Enlightenment and supported by some of the most brilliant writers and artists in France. They examine communities in London, Hungary, Portugal, Prussia, Edinburgh, and the US. They also consider specific people, the emigres novel, the impact of the Indemnity Bill of 1825, the image of the Republic, and the clergy.
