'The Anthem Anthology of Victorian Sonnets' is a comprehensive
collection consisting of over three thousand Victorian sonnets
written by Victorian poets between 1836 and the early years of
twentieth century.
Between 2018 and 2019, Cornwall Archaeological Unit undertook two
projects at Mount’s Bay, Penwith. The first involved the
excavation of a Bronze Age barrow and the second, environmental
augur core sampling in Marazion Marsh. Both sites lie within an
area of coastal hinterland, which has been subject to incursions by
rising sea levels. Since the Mesolithic, an area of approximately 1
kilometre in extent between the current shoreline and St
Michael’s Mount has been lost to gradually rising sea levels.
With current climate change, this process is likely to occur at an
increasing rate. Given their proximity, the opportunity was taken
to draw the results from the two projects together along with all
available existing environmental data from the area. For the first
time, the results from all previous palaeoenvironmental projects in
the Mount’s Bay area have been brought together. Evidence for
coastal change and sea level rise is discussed and a model for the
drowning landscape presented. In addition to modelling the loss of
land and describing the environment over time, social responses
including the wider context of the Bronze Age barrow and later
Bronze Age metalwork deposition in the Mount’s Bay environs are
considered. The effects of the gradual loss of land are discussed
in terms of how change is perceived, its effects on community
resilience, and the construction of social memory and narratives of
place. The volume presents the potential for nationally significant
environmental data to survive, which demonstrates the long-term
effects of climate change and rising sea levels, and peoples’
responses to these over time.
