The Religious Culture of the Huguenots, 1660-1750

The stated goal of this collection of ten essays is to explore the contribution of Huguenot refugees to British culture and to offer a ‘fresh study of the British refuge in the context of the European [Huguenot] diaspora’ (p. 1). Several of the contributions express regret that the Huguenots in England have received less attention from historians than their counterparts in Germany or the Netherlands. By revisiting his statistical work of the late 1960s and early 1970s on the scale, chronology and geography of the Huguenot migration to England, and adding comparative evidence from Amsterdam, Robin Gwynn shows that more Huguenots ultimately settled in the English capital than in the Dutch metropolis. Simon Harvey and Elizabeth Grist show how one French refugee, Pierre Des Maizeaux, played an important role in making the ideas of such innovative English theologians and philosophers as Anthony Collins, John Toland, and John Locke known to a French-speaking public. Contributions such as these successfully remind readers of the importance of this current of the Huguenot diaspora and might well spark more investigation of this relatively neglected topic
