The table of contents in Agnew’s work organizes the refugee experience into phases such as “persecutions,” “hospitality,” and “naturalization,” which are presented across different reigns. For example, Volume I includes sections on “The persecutions which drove French-speaking Protestants into exile” up to 1680, followed by “England and the Refugees in the Reigns of Edward VI. and Elizabeth,” “The Hospitality of James I,” and “The Times of Charles I” [1]. Volume II continues with “The Persecution in France from 1680 to 1685,” “The Reception of the French Refugees in England in 1681,” and “Naturalization alias Denization, with Lists” [4]. These stages logically connect by showing a progression from the cause (persecution) to the response (hospitality and reception) and finally to legal integration (naturalization).
The passages suggest cause-and-effect relationships that Agnew might explore between these stages. Persecution in France (e.g., under Louis XIV and earlier reigns) directly drives exile, as seen in the sections on persecutions [1][2]. This exile then leads to hospitality in England under various monarchs, such as James I and William and Mary [1][4]. Finally, the process…

More questions about this book
- Imagine you need to explain Agnew's book to a peer using only the title and table of contents. What is the book's core historical argument or central question, and what specific types of evidence does it promise to use to support it?
- Agnew distinguishes between "Protestant exiles from France" and "French-speaking Refugees." What is the potential significance of this linguistic distinction, and how might it broaden or narrow the scope of his historical inquiry into identity and integration beyond a purely religious definition?
- Why would a historian dedicate entire sections to "Church-Government and Worship," "Gleanings from Wills," and "Old Registers of Marriages, Baptisms, and Deaths" in a study of exiles, and what unique insights into the refugees' daily lives, cultural adaptation, and long-term societal impact could these granular records provide that a broader narrative might miss?
- Considering the book is a "Third Edition, Remodelled and Greatly Enlarged," which chapters or sections in the table of contents appear most likely to have been expanded or re-evaluated from earlier editions, and what historical developments or new research might have necessitated such changes?
