Protestants From France, In Their English Home (1885) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164090151)

Protestants From France, In Their English Home is a historical book written by Samuel Wayland Kershaw in 1885. The book tells the story of the French Protestant refugees who fled to England in the 16th and 17th centuries to escape persecution in their homeland. The book chronicles the lives of these refugees and their descendants as they settled in England and made new lives for themselves. Kershaw provides a detailed account of the Huguenots, their religion, their culture, and their impact on English society. He explores the reasons why the Huguenots chose England as their new home, their struggles to adapt to a new country, and their contributions to English society in the fields of industry, trade, and the arts. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on different aspects of the Huguenot experience in England. Kershaw uses a combination of historical research and personal anecdotes to bring the story of the Huguenots to life. Protestants From France, In Their English Home is an important work of historical scholarship that sheds light on an often-overlooked chapter in English history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Huguenots, the history of England, or the history of religious persecution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
