This first study of the post-Revolutionary French migr press in London discusses the exiles' ideologies and activities and their effect on British and French foreign policy. Between 1792 and 1814 London was home to a flourishing French migr newspaper and periodical press that served both an exile audience and a Europe-wide French-speaking elite. The experienced journalists who had fled the revolution and staffed the press are revealed as professional activists engaged in an international ideological struggle; their successful counter-revolutionary propaganda affected French foreign policy, while their relationship with theirBritish government patrons remained remarkably independent. The evolving counter-revolutionary ideology of the migr press was highly influential in driving events in Europe, both clandestinely and more openly; only with the accession of Bonaparte in 1799, and the return of many of the exiles to France, did migr propaganda crystallise into a reactionary anti-Bonaparte press and an ideological framework for Bourbonism. SIMON BURROWS isa lecturer in the School of History at the University of Leeds.
