The nineteenth volume in the acclaimed paperback series . . . the
only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the
past and present of a nation. 'Cornish Studies' has consistently -
and successfully - sought to investigate and understand the complex
nature of Cornish identity, as well as to discuss its implications
for society and governance in contemporary Cornwall. The latest
volume in this internationally acclaimed paperback series, Cornish
Studies: Nineteen examines the Duchy of Cornwall in the medieval
period and discusses the Cornish language (including its
significance as an icon of contemporary Cornish identity), as well
as critically evaluating the early Cornish-language revivalists and
analysing the experiences of Cornish women in Cornwall's
nineteenth-century 'Great Emigration'. There is also a review of
recent books on Californian mining towns in the 1930s and the
'Anglican imagination' of John Betjeman.

David Everett wrote the way he played the piano -- for the sheer
joy of entertaining. His stories are unfailingly funny. Everett's
memoirs tell of growing up in east Texas during WWII, the military
after Korea but before Viet Nam, gays at UT in the 50s, Winedale
and Johnson City in the 60s, playing the piano behind the iron
curtain in Europe, and much, much more. Diagnosed with Parkinson's
at 45, Everett continued to enjoy life for another 28 years, first
working on campus and then retiring to Mexico. This book tells in
droll detail the story of the coming of age of a gay Texan, the
pleasures and traumas of the 60s, the heroic struggles of an
unrepentant iconoclast, beset with a degenerative disease, who
faced the world with intelligence, sensitivity, and humor. This
book is a song with many verses and a single underlying theme: art
as a form of salvation, writing as a pure act of love.
