Public talk by Dr. Christopher Stokes at 1pm on 18th November 2014 at the Royal Cornwall Museum

This talk will draw on archival material to see how Cornish place, landscape and seascape were represented in nature poetry, particularly during the great flowering of Romantic landscape poetry in the 18th and 19th century. It will consider questions such as how Cornish landscape became an object for the prominent discourses of the time (beautiful, picturesque, sublime), how Cornish poets and poets writing about Cornwall relate to the canonical figures like Wordsworth, and what, if anything, is uniquely ‘Cornish’ about these texts.
