They brought with them their formidable energies and talents and quickly assimilated themselves into the host society. These papers, originally delivered at a London conference commemorating Edward VI's charter to the 'strangers' church', discuss the experiences in their new homes of the many immigrants who settled in Britain, Ireland and across the Atlantic in the early modern period. While most studies usually concentrate on one particular ethnic or national group, these essays examine a wide variety - Dutch, Flemish, German, Huguenot, Jewish, African, Arab and Levantine - over the entire period. The essays range from considerations of trends towards integration in the immigrant communities to case-studies of individual immigrants; from studies of popular attitudes and government policy to examinations of the immigrant communities themselves and their structures for self-sufficiency.
