Synopsis
Comments on this acclaimed series:
' 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
'The outcome and intention has been to place Cornwall squarely in new debates about the nature of "Britishness" and the territorial identities'
Cornish Studies Ten reviewed in Western Morning News
'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
