"....Anne Duffin's scholarly study of early seventeenth-century Cornwall worthily takes its place alongside Mary Coate's classic 1933 volume on this county's Civil War experience. Based on copious research, clearly presented, balanced in its judgements, it fills a significant gap in early modern regional history." Southern History, Vol. 18, 1997) '...this is an impressive study, emphasizing the dialogic relationship between centre and locality in her period." (English Historical Review, February 1998) "This is a book which will be valued by historians of this period and by those with a particular interest in Cornwall."
