Geraint H. Jenkins

'Cornish Studies provides a fresh, accessible and illuminating insight into the many-sided history and culture of Cornwall. The interdisciplinary and comparative approach encouraged by the editor, Philip Payton, has proved particularly rewarding and has deepened our understanding of Celtic societies in general.

Southern History

These attractively produced . . . volumes pull together a wide range of Cornish interdisciplinary material in an innovative and imaginative way, and are distinguished by their strong focus on the Cornish 'difference.' "
