Description

This is a lively new account of Betjeman's life and work and his defining lifelong relationship with Cornwall. Quintessentially English, Betjeman was an 'outsider' in England and doubly so in Cornwall where, as he was the first to admit, he was a 'foreigner'. Yet, as this book describes, Betjeman also strove to acquire a veneer of 'Cornishness' discovering his own Welsh ancestry and cultivating an alternative Celtic identity in Cornwall. North Cornwall, in particular, was for Betjeman a place of 'liberation', where he found relief from the many conflicting pressures in his life.
