Fifty-seven contributions from international scholars describe the experiences of the immigrants, many fleeing religious persecution, who came to Britain and its colonies and Ireland between 1550 and 1750. Originally presented at a London conference in 2001, the papers consider the ways in which immigrant groups integrated into their host societies and the ways in which they maintained their own distinctive identities. Topics include, for example, the "stranger churches," contributions of immigrants to English intellectual life, and political consciousness among Huguenot refugees.

This vol. has been built upon all of the known parish register & census evidence bearing upon the changing size of France's Huguenot population over the course of the period between the Edict of Nantes & its Revocation -- specifically, upon census figures or annual totals of baptisms for any Protestant church or community for which such evidence spans 40 or more years of the cent. This national investigation is offered in the hope that it can help to stimulate more of the detailed local studies of individual Protestant communities & of the relations between their members & their Catholic neighbors that are needed to illuminate these variations, as well as to highlight those regions where such studies might be particularly fruitful.

Drawing comparisons with the broader Huguenot diaspora, this book reassesses the prevailing view that Huguenots in North America quickly conformed to Anglicanism and abandoned the French language and other distinctive characteristics in order to assimilate into Anglo-American culture. Although the standard interpretation may still be true for Huguenots in heterogeneous urban communities, it should be modified for Huguenots in ethnically and religiously homogeneous rural settlements like New Paltz and New Rochelle, where the process was more akin to a gradual acculturation.
