West Britons provides a fresh interpretation of the bloodiest, most
devastating years in Cornwall's history and a wholly new
perspective on the history of the far South West of Britain. As a
new generation of historians has begun to explore Cornwall's
ambivalent position within the English state, nowhere have the
insights been more dramatic than in the field of early modern
history. This book taps into the contemporary political and
historical debates over 'Britishness' and focuses on the question
of Cornish identity, popular rebellion and the Civil War, all
topics of current fanatical interest among enthusiasts and
historians alike. It also includes transcriptions of original
documents, useful to teachers and their students, and a list of
Cornish Royalist officers, of special interest to genealogists. a
'A significant and original contribution to British history, and
also a work for our times. There is nothing else like it in print,
and nor is there likely to be in the near future. It makes full and
sophisticated reference to current academic debate. At the same
time, it is written in a lively, lucid, compelling-even
furious-style which will make it easy and attractive to a large
public audience.' Ronald Hutton, Professor of History, University
of Bristol a 'Stoyle has now a well-established reputation both as
a distinguished historian of Cornwall and as a scholar who can
relate the history of Cornwall to the history of Britain.' John
Morrill, Professor of British and Irish History, Selwyn College,
Cambridge a 'This book contributes brilliantly to the new British
historiography, establishing Cornwall incontrovertibly as one of
the component territories and the Cornish as one of the constituent
peoples of the "Atlantic Archipelago."' Philip Payton, Professor of
Cornish Studies, University of Exeter
