The fifteenth volume in the acclaimed paperback series . . . the only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the past and present of a nation.
'The outcome and intention has been to place Cornwall squarely in new debates about the nature of "Britishness" and the territorial identities.' (Western Morning News)
'Cornish Studies is probably the only 'county' series that can legitimately claim to represent the past and present of a nation. As such it consistently provides rich material for the understanding of the British past and present as a whole, and of their impact on the wider world.' (Ronald Hutton, Professor of History, University of Bristol)
'I am deeply impressed by the Cornish Studies series. As a researcher on the construction of Englishness and its exclusivities, as well as a specialist on minority cultures, I find its contents thought-provoking and challenging. It is exceptional to find such wide-ranging and truly interdisciplinary approaches within a scholarly series. In particular, its reflexivity and self-criticism is refreshing and stimulating.' (Professor Tony Kushner, Department of History, University of Southampton)
