Description: New York: Berghahn Books, 2003. Hardcover. viii, 328 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : new. - Revisions of papers presented at the international conference Flotsam of Revolution: European Exiles in England After 1849 which was held at the German Historical Institute in London in July 1999. Studies on exile in the 19th century tend to be restricted to national histories. This volume is the first to offer a broader view by looking at French, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Czech and German political refugees who fled to England after the European revolutions of 1848/49. The contributors examine various aspects of their lives in exile such as their opportunities for political activities, the forms of political cooperation that existed between exiles from different European countries on the one hand and with organizations and politicians in England on the other and, finally, the attitude of the host country towards the refugees, and their perceptions of the country which had granted them asylum ISBN 9781571814173.
