Recenzii
“A hefty and handsome volume. . . . The editors are to be commended for pulling so many threads together in such a capable way, and their editorial contributions certainly make the volume much more coherent than is often the case with multi-author projects on this scale. The book sets some important standards for maritime-regional studies. It should be the first port of call for anyone interested in Cornwall’s history (maritime or otherwise), as well as for scholars seeking examples of long-term change in societies at the frontier between land and sea.”
“There are some books which are a delight to hold, and to behold—even before one delves into their pages—and this is one of them. A pleasingly chunky volume, the front of the dust jacket features Joseph Southall’s The Three Masted Schooner, his limpid and evocative 1919 marine landscape of a marine vessel at Fowey which sums up so many of the themes covered within, such as maritime trade, coastal communities, and Cornwall’s later promotion as a holiday destination. A well-chosen and effective pictorial overture! . . . Each part is prefaced by an admirable joint essay by the editors. . . . This is a serious, substantial, yet readily readable volume, which comprises excellent essays by some of the foremost maritime historians.”
“The strongest element in the book is the introductory chapters for each of the five sections. Written by the editors, they provide a thorough grounding in the major historic, economic and social developments of the time period, both of regional importance and the larger context within which Cornwall life was woven. They are excellent essays, combining established sources with new research into the era under exploration. Reading these alone is worth the price of the volume.”
“A remarkable achievement. Synthesising and making accessible high quality research, it shows that through its essentially maritime location Cornwall could be both pivotal and peripheral, not just peripheral—the common misconception today."
“Overall this is a book which manages to strike the difficult balance of being academically rigorous, and yet sufficiently lively and readable to reach a much wider audience. The fact that it is beautifully produced and well-illustrated should help with the latter.”
