Publisher's Synopsis
A number of British men and women with radical sympathies and links to the domestic reform movement travelled to Paris after 1789 to witness the events of the French Revolution. Many remained in residence and took part in and wrote about the debates animating the first French republic. British residents set up an emigrant political society in late 1792, based at White's hotel in the second arrondissement, under the name of the Soci?t? des Amis des Droits de l'Homme. The SADH was a hub of international political culture and served as a testing ground for ideas and written production. From White's hotel members launched joint writing projects, organised relief missions and contributed collectively to the debate over a new republican constitution at the turn of 1793.
