Refugees of the French Revolution

Kirsty Carpenter first book, "Refugees of the French Revolution" explores Franco-British culture during the revolutionary years and the complex History of the Emigration. She is also joint-editor of "The French Emigres in Europe" and "Struggle against Revolution 1789-1814".

Kirsty Carpenter puts a human face on the victims of revolutionary legislation. London had the largest community of émigrés. It had the most evolved social structure and was the most politically-active community. It was in London that two cultures came face-to-face with their prejudices and were forced to confront them.      Kirsty Carpenter puts a human face on the victims of revolutionary legislation.
