The nineteenth volume in the acclaimed paperback series . . . the only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the past and present of a nation.
The nineteenth volume in the acclaimed paperback series…the only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the past and present of a nation. ‘Cornish Studies’ has consistently – and successfully – sought to investigate and understand the complex nature of Cornish identity, as well as to discuss its implications for society and governance in contemporary Cornwall. The latest volume in this internationally acclaimed paperback series, Cornish Studies: Nineteen examines the Duchy of Cornwall in the medieval period and discusses the Cornish language (including its significance as an icon of contemporary Cornish identity), as well as critically evaluating the early Cornish-language revivalists and analysing the experiences of Cornish women in Cornwall’s nineteenth-century ‘Great Emigration’. There is also a review of recent books on Californian mining towns in the 1930s and the ‘Anglican imagination’ of John Betjeman.

"Time and place are central to many of the issues facing humanity, and how we contemplate the future. Cornish Studies thus provides much more than insight into the past and the regional, informing understanding that extends far beyond."( Professor Kevin J. Gaston, Director, Environment & Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus) "A staple of the academic year the latest volume of Cornish Studies (Second Series) does not disappoint in its on-going deconstruction of some of the myths of Cornish culture. This is a fine collection of essays with some interesting emergent voices in the field."(Cornish Banner, 147, February 2012)
