Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

In 1602 Richard Carew in his famous Survey of Cornwall wrote that 'Cornwall, as an entire state, hath at divers times enjoyed sundry titles: of a kingdom, principality, duchy, and earldom'. In the same book he added that the Cornish were still 'fostering a fresh memory of their expulsion long ago by the English' and that the over-inquisitive visitor from over the River Tamar border might be rebuffed by the. Cornish-language retort 'meea navidna cowza-sawzneck' - 'I will not speak English'.
