'A significant contribution to our understanding of the physical, mental and intellectual worlds inhabited by exiles such as Sidney, Ludlow and Neville … What Mahlberg's study shows is the importance of transnational, intercontinental networks for the survival and dissemination of heterodox ideas, and she demonstrates that these networks helped mitigate against an 'experience of defeat' for the exiled republicans-rather, instead, a patient and intellectually fertile experience of waiting for their time to come again.' Matthew Jenkinson, English Historical Review 'The appealingly written book continues the trend in British historiography of recent years to free English and British history from its insular, narrow and/or Atlantic orientation and instead to link it more closely with continental European developments. This includes the political and, above all, the religious-denominational conditions, which the author takes a convincing look at. The work therefore opens up exciting insights into the mixed relationships between religion and politics, exemplified by the living environments of three fascinating personalities.' Alexander Schunka, Sehepunkte (translated from German)
