The Protestant International and the Huguenot Migration to Virginia
In 1700, King William III assigned Charles de Sailly to accompany Huguenot refugees to Manakin Town on the Virginia frontier. The existing explanation for why this migration was necessary is overly simplistic and seriously conflated. Based largely on English-language sources with an English Atlantic focus, it contends that King William III, grateful to the French Protestant refugees who helped him invade England during the Glorious Revolution (1688) and win victory in Ireland (1691), rewarded these refugees by granting them 10,000 acres in Virginia on which to settle. Using French-language sources and a wider, more European focus than existing interpretations, this book offers an alternative...
In Search of Peace and Prosperity
This volume brings together essays by leading German and American historians on the subject of German emigration in the eighteenth century when Germans were moving to a variety of destinations: Russia, Prussian Lithuania, and various other German territories as well as North America.What drove men and women from different regional and social backgrounds to leave their homes during this time? Some migrations were forced, as for the Mennonites, the Salzburger emigrants, and the French Huguenots; some were voluntary and determined by the wish for one's own land and greater social and economic opportunity. In all groups, religion was a prominent motivator and primary element of social identification and cohesion. Inevitably, migrants carried with them traditional skills and other indispensable cultural "baggage." A key strength of this book is that contributors emphasize the mutual exchanges that occurred among cultures.
The Global Refuge
The Global Refuge is the first global history of the Huguenots, Protestant refugees from France who scattered around the world in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Inspired by visions of Eden, these religious migrants were forced to navigate a world of empires, forming colonies in North America, the Caribbean, and even South Africa and the Indian Ocean.
The Republican Alternative
The Republican Alternative seeks to move beyond the mere notion of scholarly inquiry into the republic—the subject of recent rediscovery by political historians interested in Europe’s intellectual heritage—by investigating the practical similarities and differences between two early modern republics, as well as their self-images and interactions during the turbulent seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Among the world’s most economically successful societies, Switzerland and the Netherlands laid much of the foundation for their prosperity during the early modern period discussed here. This volume attempts to clarify the special character of these two countries as they developed, including issues of religious plurality, the republican form of government, and an increasingly commercially-driven agrarian society.

Berliner Bürgertum im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert
Diese Sozialgeschichte untersucht am Beispiel einer repräsentativen Unternehmergruppe das Berliner Bürgertum. Mit der modernen Methode der nominalen Record Linkage werden die Mobilität und das soziale Netzwerk von bürgerlichen Familien und Familiengruppen bis weit in das 18. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgt. Die Arbeit basiert maßgeblich auf einer komplexen Auswertung von Kirchenbüchern. Eingebettet in den sozialen Kontext der Haupt- und Residenzstadt Berlin wird hier für die brandenburgisch-preußische Geschichte die lebhaft debattierte Problematik von Kontinuität und Diskontinuität im Prozeß der Herausbildung des modernen Bürgertums behandelt. Das Berliner Bürgertum mit seinen herausragenden Unternehmern, den Beamten und hofnahen Handwerkern, bedeutenden Kirchenmännern, Ärzten, Gelehrten und Künstlern nimmt in dieser Arbeit konkrete Gestalt an.
