- This monograph was based on an extended period of sustained research largely undertaken during an AHRC-funded project, ‘Mysticism, Myth, and “Celtic” Nationalism’ (2008-2011). It is grounded in extensive primary research (including archives at the Cornish Studies Library and Royal Institution), involving local journals, folklore, pamphlets, letters, as well as in theoretical and critical work across multiple disciplinary areas (e.g. history of science, cultural geography, politics of nationalism). It spans from 1800 to the contemporary, also bringing together multiple literary forms (e.g. poetry, gothic fiction, travel narratives, modernist and romance novels), to make an original argument concerning the materiality of nationhood.
