Summary:[...]religious communities, sympathetic French men and women, and fellow exiles that found themselves in places of privilege were essential for the survival of the majority of English removing to Paris. Gibbons 's assessment of the experience of Catholics in France helps to place them within the wider English political milieu, but also enriches the contribution their presence made to French politics and international Catholicism. [...]her book confirms that the study of post-Reformation Catholicism in England, but also in the rest of the British Isles, must take into account continental influences, expatriate communities and multidimensional networks.
