Many of the papers have been carefully reworked and extended for publication and three contributions have been especially written for this volume. Although this book grew out of a conference it is more than simply a volume of printed conference papers. I am much indebted to the former director of the GHIL, Peter Wende, under whose auspices the conference took place, and to the present director, Hagen Schulze, who has generously supported the publication. How did their story continue, what opportunities for political activity in exile existed for them, and was there any noticeable cooperation between the different national exile groups on the one hand and with politicians and organisations in England on the other? To discuss and answer these questions participants from all over Europe joined this conference. Since ‘Flotsam’ was defined by the Oxford Dictionary of English as ‘People or things that have been rejected and are regarded as worthless’, the task of the conference was, as the director at that time, Peter Wende, stated in his opening address, to find out whether the members of this intellectually and culturally rich community in exile were considered ‘worthless’, either by their host country, or by their countries of origin. After the numerous celebrations of 150 years of revolutions in Europe, especially in Germany in 1998, the conference sought to start where for most of the revolutionary protagonists the story ended: in exile.
