French Emigres in Europe and the Struggle Against Revolution 1789-1814, The. (Electronic book text)

Underlining the achievements rather than the failures, of the French emigres in Europe from 1789 to 1814, different specialist essays in this work describe their impact from London to Hungary, from Lisbon to Prussia, and confirm their critical importance in the politics, ideology and culture of their time. The French emigres were more than refugees, they were active, and often remarkably successful, agents on the European struggle against the French Revolution.
