Brill British and Irish Emigrants and Exiles in Europe 1603-1688 (The Northern World): 47

This book comprises the first full-length comparison of Scottish, Irish, English and Welsh migration within Europe in the early modern period. The contributions demonstrate the fruitfulness of pursuing a comparative approach to seventeenth-century British and Irish history. Review "...There are clearly dangers with any edited collection.

Sarah Barber in Northern Scotland, Volume 5, Page 115-118 DOI 10.3366/nor.2014.0078, May 2014. " British and Irish Emigrants and Exiles in Europe, 1603-1688, is certainly a useful addition to the historiography of the British and Irish diaspora in the seventeenth century. The editor is to be commended for trying to include England and Wales into a field where the Irish IRSS 35 (2010) 181 and Scots have dominated in recent years."
