This collection of essays discusses how, between 1550 and 1750,
tens of thousands of immigrants, many of them religious refugees
escaping persecution on the European continent, settled in Britain,
its colonies, and in Ireland. The writing details how the
immigrants brought with them their formidable energies and talents
and quickly assimilated themselves into the host society. The works
range from general considerations of trends towards integration in
the immigrant communities to detailed case-studies of the movement
into British society of individual immigrants; from studies of
popular attitudes and government policy towards the newcomers to
examinations of relations within the immigrant communities
themselves and their structures for self-sufficiency. The
immigrants' contributions to art, scholarship, manufacturing,
theology, and politics are also explored.
