Résumé

Résumé : The book "Cornwall" by Sabine Baring-Gould offers a comprehensive exploration of the county's geography, history, and cultural significance. Cornwall, a duchy rather than a county, is characterized by its intermediary position as a peninsula in the southwest of England, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. The text delves into the county's geological features, highlighting the granite formations and the Devonian series of rocks that shape its landscape. The rugged north coast, with its dramatic cliffs and limited harbors, contrasts with the more sheltered and estuarine south coast. The book also discusses the historical significance of Cornwall, from its ancient Celtic roots to its role in the English Civil War. Baring-Gould provides insights into the county's natural history, noting the absence of certain bird species and the presence of intermediary flora and fauna due to its geographical isolation. The text further explores Cornwall's economic activities, including mining, agriculture, and fishing, which have historically shaped the livelihoods of its inhabitants. The author also highlights the cultural heritage of Cornwall, including its architecture, antiquities, and the remnants of its Celtic past. Through detailed descriptions and illustrations, the book paints a vivid picture of Cornwall's diverse landscapes, from the Bodmin moors to the picturesque coastal towns and villages. Overall, "Cornwall" serves as an informative guide to understanding the county's rich history, natural beauty, and cultural legacy.
