Product Description

Product Description

This classic history of Cornwall provides a comprehensive review of Britain's most south-westerly county. With absorbing detail, Halliday relates the story of the Bronze Age stone circles and Iron Age citadels; the coming of the Saints; the dissolution of the monasteries and the Tudor rebellions; the Armada and the war with Spain; the preaching of John Wesley; the making of the railway; and into this fascinating pattern of the centuries he weaves the two threads of the sea and Cornish tin. In this clear and vibrant account, Halliday skilfully illustrates what makes this historic county so exceptional.


About the Author

Frank Ernest Halliday was born in 1903, in Bradford. He taught English at Cheltenham College from 1929 to 1947, when the family moved to St. Ives, in Cornwall, where Halliday remained for the rest of his life. He wrote twenty-four books in his lifetime; the first was published in 1946 and the last in 1975. They included numerous books on Shakespeare as well as studies of Thomas Hardy, Chaucer, Robert Browning and Wordsworth. There is now renewed interest in his work, including plans for an F E Halliday archive at the Archive Study Centre in Cornwall. He died in 1982.

This review is from: History Of Cornwall (Paperback)
Excellent informative book, must have for anyone with a love of Cornwall and a thirst for knowledge about how it and its inhabitants have evolved as a unique part of the UK. Well researched and written in a user friendly way.
