Críticas:

'Congratulations are due to Professor Philip Payton, the Institute of Cornish Studies and University of Exeter Press on this, the tenth volume in the series Cornish Studies. Its publication marks an important milestone in the development of Cornish Studies as an area of academic activity. Over the last decade or so we have seen the emergence of an energetic 'new' Cornish Studies, which has sought to engage with major scholarly debates such as those surrounding 'Britishness', 'Celticity', identity, gender, the politics of the periphery, language revival, and ethnicity and emigration. Often courageous and always innovative, these new interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to studying Cornwall and the Cornish have allowed Cornish Studies to escape the narrow confines of 'English local history' to embrace what have been termed the 'new Cornish historiography' and the 'new Cornish social science'. Nowhere has this been more evident than within the pages of Cornish Studies itself, the series becoming a showcase for the latest and best Cornish work as well as placing consideration of Cornwall and the Cornish very firmly within the wider context of the 'Atlantic Archipelago'. (Professor Mairead Nic Craith, Academy for Irish Cultural Heritages, University of Ulster) 'The outcome and intention has been to place Cornwall squarely in new debates about the nature of 'Britishness' and the territorial identities' (Western Morning News) '. . . essential reading for any `student of Cornwall'' (Cornish Studies Six Cornish Forefathers Society, April 1999) `Its tenth anniversary edition, now out from the University of Exeter Press, essentially seeks to define where "New Cornish Studies" has travelled over the past decade and where it ought to be travelling in the decade to come.' (Cornish Studies Ten, Western Morning News, February 2003) `The outcome and intention has been to place Cornwall squarely in new debates about the nature of "Britishness" and the territorial identities' (Cornish Studies Ten, Western Morning News, February 2003)

Reseña del editor:

The tenth volume in the acclaimed paperback series . . . the only county series that can legitimately claim to represent the past and present of a nation.
