Is the 'West Country' on the map or in the mind? Is it the southwest peninsula of Britain or a semimythical country offering a home for those in pursuit of the romance of wrecking, smuggling and a rural Golden Age?This book investigates these questions in the context of the relationship between place and writing, discussing Thomas Hardy's Wessex; R.D. Blackmore's Exmoor and Lorna Doone; Charles Kingsley, whose Westward Ho!, became a Devon placename, Sabine BaringGould of Dartmoor and recorder and inventor of West Country folktales; Parson Hawker of Morwenstowe, an inventor of the Cornish King Arthur.
