Treasures of Cornwall: A Literary Anthology

by Luke Thompson (Editor)

Cornwall is steeped in poetry, legend and storytelling. Join Luke Thompson on a literary tour around its dramatic coastline, its cliffs and coves, across the moor and down the mines.

Meet Cornish poets such as Jack Clemo and Charles Causley, enjoy retellings of thrilling legends and stirring songs and read inspiring fiction and non-fiction from famous Cornish writers and residents including Daphne du Maurier, Thomas Hardy, Winston Graham and D. H. Lawrence. What each and every one has in common is a deep-rooted connection to a county defined by its awe-inspiring and varied landscape, its folklore and its fiercely independent people.

Reviews

[Caleb Barron · Rating 3 out of 5]

An extensive, but safe, collection of work with varying connections to Cornwall. It gives a good overview of Cornwall's literary past and offers plenty of writers to follow-up and read more of. It definitely favours obvious choices but it seems to be achieving what it sets out to do. The framing is simple but it works.

A great collection!
