"The Emigration during the French Revolution has often been treated with scorn. Were the emigres the failures they were styled, by Balzac among others - tired remnants of a lost civilisation? This book seeks to explore the Emigration as both a cultural and political phenomenon, underpinned by the ideas of the Enlightenment and supported by some of the most brilliant writers and artists in France at the end of the eighteenth century.
The emigres were political refugees, caught between the domestic turmoil of France and the international rivalries of the European powers."--BOOK JACKET.
