Recenzje

"Hagmann’s volume therefore cuts both ways: it brings overdue recognition to the existence and significance of Celtic music and dance in Cornwall, while levelling substantial challenges at the corpus. Demonstrating that Cornwall’s diminutive size is no indicator of a lack of cultural complexity, she explores many issues that have wider resonances, not least in relation to ongoing Cornish agendas for greater political and institutional recognition. - Kate Neale, Folk Music Journal
