Description
This was the first major study of the Cornish Language and Literature to be published. It traces the origins of the language, looks at its literature, and describes the pressures which were brought to bear on the language and which eventually led to its decline. Using many examples of the language and the literature, it examines the Cornish language against the background of the history of Cornwall itself, from Old Cornish through to the great revival.
