This is a wide-ranging and original collection of essays on early modern migration. The contributors, including Bernard Bailyn, Ned Landsman, L.M. Cullen, and Nicolas Sanchez-Albornoz, examine the scale and character of migration from a range of countries. Besides collectively finding that such migration more often led to an early death than to a quick fortune, the essays also suggest that the period 1500-1800 was transitional between the narrowly focused migration of the medieval period and the mass migration of the nineteenth century.

this is a very valuable collection that considerably advances the subject * Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, EHR Feb. 97 * The substantive essays are among the most difficult a historian has to write, synthesizing into a progress report existing secondary literature without slipping into waffle or historiography ... the authors have succeeded in their tasks admirably ... All have been aided by their own research in the primary sources ... this is an important and stimulating book, which ought to lead to lecture revisions across the continent. * J.M. Bumsted, University of Manitoba, The Journal of American History, December 1995 * This informative collection of essays, most derived from a 1990 conference at the Royal Irish Academy, describes the current understanding of early modern migration from Europe...Europeans on the Move is an excellent interim report, offering some new answers and many new questions that will be of interest to early modern historians. * The International History Review * The value of this collection lies principally in its comprehensiveness. Drawing upon a rich outpouring of recent scholarship, reflected in its bibliographies, this impressive collection is by far the best available summary of the field and makes a valuable contribution to migration studies generally. * Economic History Review * The subject is of the greatest importance but has only in recent years begun to attract the attention it merits. This book makes handsome amends. ... this is an excellent book, full of new information and insights and the starting point for any further investigations into that outcome of European expansion whose consquences are still so manifestly with us. * History Today * `the book provides excellent, up-to-date surveys of the early history of long-distance migration' The Irish Times
