Description
Devon has a distinct sense of its own history, shaped by centuries of relative isolation. With two long coastlines and short land boundaries, the county developed a unique culture, economy, dialect, and landscape that set it apart from the rest of England.
This comprehensive history is the result of pioneering work by W.G. Hoskins, a renowned economic and social historian who was also a Devon man. His seminal work, first published in 2003, has been widely acclaimed for its research and writing, and remains the definitive history of the county to this day.
This revised edition includes an updated introduction, a new bibliography, and the latest statistical figures, as well as reproducing Hoskins' classic text in full. With over two hundred pages of detailed information, including a gazetteer describing every place in the county, this book is packed with fascinating insights into Devon's history and culture.
