DescriptionThis collection of essays celebrated the centenary of the publication of Henry Jenner’s Handbook of the Cornish Language in 1904, which helped accelerate the revival of Cornwall’s ancient tongue and Culture. Having helped Cornwall gain acceptance as a Celtic nation by the Pan-Celtic Congress, the Jenners went on to found the Old Cornwall Societies and Henry was to become Cornwall first Grand Bard. Kitty Lee was a talented Painter, poet and novelist, whose work until now has received little recognition.

The book includes essays Henry Jenner and poems by Jenner and Kitty Lee, with contributions by David Everett, Alan M Kent, Donald Rawe, Tim Saunders, Brian Coombes and Derek R Williams, who explore the Jenners’ writing, their achievements in the sphere of Cornish Culture and their Anglo-Catholic and royalist beliefs.
