Review
'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
