About this title

From the Back Cover:

For most of the nineteenth century, Germans represented the largest continental immigrant population in Britain, yet to date no study has concentrated on them. They entered the country for a combination of religious, political and economic reasons and established themselves in thriving immigrant communities. Hostility towards them spread throughout the 1800s and escalated with the growth of Anglo-German hostility in the period leading up to the outbreak of World War I. This thoroughly researched study fills a gap in the modern history of Britain and the history of German immigrant communities. It will be of interest to anyone wishing to learn more about Anglo-German relations, migration and ethnicity.
