Cornwall in film 1939-1945

I am a postgraduate student at the Institute of Cornish Studies, researching film in Cornwall during World War 2 particularly looking at the depiction of Cornwall and the portrayal of the Cornish as seen both from within the county and from outside. I cover feature films, film shorts and newsreels. My main research has been using evidence from the social history of the time including local documents and oral evidence (such as still exists). I have found small local museums very helpful.

I am also able to offer support in translating early documents in Latin relating to Cornwall and am a member of the British Library. I have an MA in Classics and a PGCE teaching qualification. My specialisms are: Roman satire, Latin verse literature, the age of Augustus and Roman city Life. I spent over twenty years as a Principal Examiner at an examination board writing both GCSE and AS/A level papers. I am familiar with Ecclesiastical Latin and New Testament Greek having taught at a Seminary.
