- Abstract
Four times each year, under a mutual 'Societies in Correspondence' arrangement, the Deutsche Hugenotten-Gesellschaft sends the Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland the latest issue of its illustrated journal Hugenotten. This publication, which was started in 1929 with the title Der Deutsche Hugenott and changed its name to the present one in 1998, continues to provide us with a wealth of information concerning the lives of French-speaking Protestant refugees and their descendants, both those who settled in Germany and those who travelled the world. The range and variety of Hugenotten's contents cannot fail to remind the reader of the transnational nature of the Huguenot diaspora, and the wide sociological and cultural effects of its members' actions. Much of the current admirable research work for Hugenotten has been due to the tireless efforts of Dr Andreas Flick, president of the Deutsche Hugenotten Gesellschaft, and Joachim Desel, the recently-retired honorary director of the Bad Karlshafen Huguenot Library, although other scholars have also made significant contributions to the journal. What follows is an attempt to describe some of the interesting material which has recently appeared in its pages, and to demonstrate that, in many cases, the ever-growing store of Huguenot-centred knowledge from beyond these shores has relevance to events in our own islands.
