Cornish Studies Volume 12 cover


The twelfth volume in the acclaimed paperback series . . . the only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the past and present of a nation.







'For more than ten years Cornish Studies has helped make Cornwall one of the better studied and documented parts of the British Isles. Each issue contains fascinating new research over the broadest agenda. The distinctiveness of Cornwall, as well as its similarities with and relationship to other regions, are given sharp focus. I'm especially glad its purview stretches as far as Australia. Cornish Studies deserves to be read across the Cornish world and beyond. (Professor Eric Richards, Department of History, Flinders University of South Australia)



'Cornish Studies provides a fresh, accessible and illuminating insight into the many-sided history and culture of Cornwall. The interdisciplinary and comparative approach encouraged by the editor, Philip Payton, has proved particularly rewarding and has deepened our understanding of Celtic societies in general.' (Professor Geraint H. Jenkins, Director of the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, University of Wales Aberystwyth)



'Cornish Studies is a wide-ranging and stimulating series. The topics which it covers relate primarily to the development of Cornish culture and society, past and present, but they are often of relevance far beyond Cornwall. It is meticulously edited to a very high standard, and beautifully produced. Its contents and format make it a most attractive and useful contribution to knowledge, accessible to the general reader as well as to the academic.' (Donald E. Meek, Professor of Celtic, University of Edinburgh)
