Description
In search of Cornwall marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Institute of Cornish Studies, which was officially launched on 1 January 1971. This edited collection of papers demonstrates that a desire on the part of researchers to investigate the story of Cornwall still appeals in the present day. It brings together the work of established and emerging scholars who explore a wide variety of topics such as emigration, folklore, heritage, literature, politics, and sport. In search of Cornwall is the fourth volume in the third series of Cornish Studies and intended as the catalyst for a new collection of thematic volumes that will develop the discipline over the next few years.
