Excerpt: "The isolation in which Cornwall had stood has tended to develop in it much originality of character; and the wildness of the coast has bred a hardy race of seamen and smugglers; the mineral wealth, moreover, drew thousands of men underground, and the underground life of the mines has a peculiar effect on mind and character: it is cramping in many ways, but it tends to develop a good deal of religious enthusiasm, that occasionally breaks forth in wild forms of fanaticism. Cornwall has produced admirable sailors, men who have won deathless renown in warfare at sea, as "Old Dreadnought" Boscawen, Pellew, Lord Exmouth, etc., and daring and adventurous smugglers, like "The King of Prussia," who combined great religious fervour with entire absence of scruple in the matter of defrauding the king's revenue."

In "Cornish Characters and Strange Events," S. Baring-Gould weaves a captivating tapestry of folklore, local anecdotes, and richly drawn character studies, presenting the unique social fabric of Cornwall in the late 19th century. Drawing upon his extensive ethnographic research, Baring-Gould employs a vibrant literary style that seamlessly blends narrative storytelling with observational prowess. This collection not only explores the eccentricities and idiosyncrasies of Cornish life but also serves as an invaluable record of regional dialects, superstitions, and the enchanting landscapes that shape its cultural identity. S. Baring-Gould, a prolific Victorian author and scholar, was deeply rooted in both Cornwall's rich heritage and its spirited communities. His familiarity with this region stems from his upbringing and continued residence, affording him profound insights into the lives of its inhabitants. Baring-Gould's literary career spanned various genres, but his passion for folklore and local history notably influenced his choice to chronicle these remarkable characters and their remarkable tales, making them accessible to a wider audience. This book is a must-read for those interested in regional folklore, cultural studies, or Victorian literature. Baring-Gould's keen observations and engaging prose invite readers to immerse themselves in the extraordinary yet ordinary lives of Cornish people, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the unique tapestry of local history and character.

Cornwall, peopled mainly by Celts, but with an infusion of English blood, stands and always has stood apart from the rest of England, much, but in a less degree, as has Wales. That which brought it into more intimate association with English thought, interests, and progress was the loss of the old Cornish tongue. The isolation in which Cornwall had stood has tended to develop in it much originality of character; and the wildness of the coast has bred a hardy race of seamen and smugglers; the mineral wealth, moreover, drew thousands of men underground, and the underground life of the mines has a peculiar effect on mind and character: it is cramping in many ways, but it tends to develop a good deal of religious enthusiasm, that occasionally breaks forth in wild forms of fanaticism. Cornwall has produced admirable sailors, men who have won deathless renown in warfare at sea, as "Old Dreadnought" Boscawen, Pellew, Lord Exmouth, etc., and daring and adventurous smugglers, like "The King of Prussia," who combined great religious fervour with entire absence of scruple in the matter of defrauding the king's revenue. It has produced men of science who have made for themselves a world-fame, as Adams the astronomer, and Sir[Pg viii] Humphry Davy the chemist; men who have been benefactors to their race, as Henry Trengrouse, Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, and Trevithick...
