Cornish Studies edited by Professor Philip Payton

Cornish Studies has developed in the post-war era as an important area of academic enquiry; the new emphasis on cultural and territorial diversity in Britain and Europe bringing it to an increasingly wide audience and encouraging recognition of its inherently interdisciplinary nature. Work on history, archaeology, regional development, ethnicity, alternative energy, Celtic studies, environmentalism, language and dialect, nationalism, tourism, migration, and a host of other subjects falls within its scope. The series Cornish Studies exists to reflect and give expression to this rich diversity. For a full list of the 190 articles, reviews and review articles authored by 121 writers that have appeared in the series to 2007 (volumes 1-15) click here.
