Step into Cornwall’s living past with Henry Jenner’s authoritative handbook of the Cornish tongue. Language lives in its people. As a Cornish language handbook and Celtic language guide, Jenner balances practical instruction with a lucid account of language history and literature, giving beginners a practical language learners resource and offering scholars a concise historical linguistics reference. Grammar and usage stand beside notes on local speech, folklore and surviving texts, so the work reads both as a classroom companion and as a portrait of a threatened tongue’s cultural life. Jenner writes with evident respect for his sources; the tone is direct yet admiring, making technical points accessible without losing the texture of songs, place-names and old tales. The result is an approachable study that serves everyday learners and readers drawn by Cornwall’s distinctive voice.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.Rooted in the intellectual life of nineteenth century Cornwall, Jenner’s study helped shape the early Cornish language revival and continues to inform endangered languages study. Its combination of careful description and cultural commentary gives it lasting literary and historical significance; the handbook is both evidence of a local renaissance and a record of the language’s surviving literature and forms. Casual readers will be drawn to its human detail, anecdotes and clear explanations, while classic literature collectors, students and academic researchers will value it as an academic research tool and a deserving addition to any celtic studies collection and to the corpus of Henry Jenner works. Whether used as a language learners resource or held as part of Cornish cultural heritage, the volume celebrates a living past and invites new readers to listen, learn and take part in its continuing story.
