Director of the 1985 Huguenot Heritage tercentenary commemoration, Gwynn surveys the contributions to Britain and Ireland by the French-speaking Calvinist refugees who crossed the Channel between the 16th and 18th centuries. Among the topics are the situation in France, settlements in England, government reaction, crafts and trades, churches, opposition, the impact of Louis XIV's defeat, and assimilation. The first edition was published by Routledge in 1985; the second incorporates literature published and artefacts discovered since then, and is more comprehensively footnoted. All referencing material has been updated tin the light of new findings. And the plate section has been expanded to take into account recently available pictures of Huguenot artefacts and scenes.
