Stuart loyalism, early language revivalists and islandness

Another three micro-summaries of reviews …

James Harris digs into expressions of loyalty in Restoration Cornwall and finds they were the result of a well-organised Tory propaganda campaign.

In a second article James Harris compares seventeenth century attempts to revive the Cornish language with the situation in south-west Wales and identifies the lack of support from the gentry as a key factor in its failure.

Philip Hayward examines ‘islandness’ at St Ives and Tintagel and concludes that islandness has been extended at St Ives but is in danger of being erased at Tintagel.
