This volume, the third of three in this series alone, about St.
Ives which 'Q' termed Ardevora relates the tale of Ia, named after
the Patron Saint of St. Ives. With clear echoes of George Eliot and
references to J.M. Barrie, medieval ballads and Biblical
references, Ia relates the story of the love between two people of
very different stations in life. Ia contains a tale, with lightly
disguised historical references to real events in Cornwall but
which is also very positive towards women who rise above their
circumstances. Now surpassed in fame as a writer by his daughter's
best friend, Daphne du Maurier, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch was the
pre-eminent Cornish writer of Victorian & Edwardian times and
founder of the Cambridge University school of English Literature.
He is of particular interest since his fiction was very often based
on factual events long passed from memory.
