Review Quotes: "Cornish Studies is now a well established and highly regarded series. It inevitably focuses on Cornwall but adds an additional intellectual perspective which few local or regional journal publications possess by adopting fascinating interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to many of the themes which are considered. This lends a freshness and vitality." -Professor Thomas M. Devine, Director, Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies, University of Aberdeen--Thomas M. Devine
