There is a wealth of documentary material available, both published
and unpublished, that reflects the existence and experiences of
immigrant communities in late Medieval and early modern England.
The great majority of the published material is, however, difficult
to access, while the unpublished material is widely scattered among
national and local record repositories. This volume presents the
first full collection of documentary evidence relating to immigrants
to England ever to be published, and as such will provide scholars
and students with an invaluable resource.
… The first of a proposed three-volume series which will take
alien immigration up to the present day, this volume commences with
the first concerted attempts to attract foreign immigrants made
in the reign of Edward III, and closes at the end of the early modern
period (c. 1750), coinciding with a period that has been
widely regarded as a crucial one in the forging of a new sense of
national identity. Topics covered include the foundations of immigrant
communities, legal and economic status, wealth and poverty, economic
and cultural impacts, popular and elite reactions, assimilation,
the stranger churches and their discipline, and international connexions.
Each chapter is introduced by a scholarly appraisal of the value
and implications of the documents that it includes.
