This book brings together a number of specialist scholarly articles published previously in the series Cornish Studies, and presents them in revised form as a history of Cornwall in the early modern period, focusing especially on issues of language, identity and rebellion in the period 1490-1690.
The expansion of the English state in the early modern era provoked resistance throughout Britain and Ireland, not least in Cornwall where this intrusion was challenged in a series of dramatic uprisings in the two centuries between 1490 and 1690.In this wide-ranging collection of chapters, several based on articles published previously in the series Cornish Studies, Philip Payton brings together an impressive team of international scholars, including Paul Cockerham, Bernard Deacon, D.H. Frost, Lynette Olson, Joanna Mattingly, Matthew Spriggs, and Mark Stoyle, to present a history of early modern Cornwall, focusing especially on the related issues of language, religion, identity and rebellion.

"This volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of Cornwall over a 200-year period. The chapters which have edited by an internationally-leading historian offer a fresh perspective on the age of rebellion in Cornwall. A valuable source of reference, the book significantly expands the range and depth of research in the field of Cornish Studies." Prof. Mairead Nic Craith MRIA, FAcSS, Chair of Cultural Heritage & Anthropology, Heriot-Watt University "This powerful multidisciplinary set of essays offers a nuanced and robust interpretation of the dynamic role of Cornwall in the turbulent shaping of the Tudor and Stuart state... The collection's level of detail, profound analysis and new insights will do much to provoke fresh debates as to the salience of the Cornish experience within British socio-economic and political development." Colin H. Williams, Cardiff and Cambridge University "Cornwall in the Age of Rebellion captures the most insightful recent scholarship on the turbulent and distinctive Cornish experience of two centuries of dramatic political change, a period in which a modern Cornish identity was created. Between the covers of this important volume Trelawny lives!" Professor Chris Williams, University College Cork
