The 'coming of age' edition of this acclaimed paperback series
discusses contemporary Cornish Studies, as well the Cornish
language, medieval and early modern Cornwall, the Duchy of
Cornwall, the establishment of the Cornish diocese, Cornish
folklore, Cornish wrestling and the Great Emigration, and the
writers Arthur Quiller-Couch, Daphne du Maurier, and Jack Clemo,
together with an overview of Cornish nationalism and a postscript
on John Betjeman and Cornwall. 'The twenty-first issue of Cornish
Studies, the last under the editorship of Philip Payton, is a
testament to the directions in which he has taken the series during
twenty years at the helm. This 'coming of age' edition brings
together essays by scholars from Australia, Ireland and Italy as
well as the UK and continues Philip Payton's on-going concern with
Cornwall's place in an international context. The contributions
here speak to the genuinely interdisciplinary identity of a series
which remains the definitive site for scholarship and debate about
Cornish history, culture, politics and identities'. Rachel Moseley,
