| Summary | "The Survey of Cornwall" by Richard Carew is a historical account written in the early 17th century. The work focuses on the geography, history, and culture of Cornwall, offering insights and observations that reflect Carew's personal experiences and knowledge of the region. It aims to document the distinctiveness of Cornwall, its natural resources, and its people, making it a valuable contribution to English literature and regional studies. At the start of "The Survey of Cornwall," Richard Carew introduces himself along with his motivations for writing this treatise. He discusses the history of Cornwall's name and touches on its legends, particularly that of Corineus and Gogmagog. Carew elaborates on the geographical features of Cornwall, its climate, and agricultural practices, establishing a framework for understanding the province's identity. He also presents the challenges and advantages the region faces due to its remote location, reflecting on the interactions between the Cornish people and the various external influences that shape their lives. The opening lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration that blends history with a personal narrative, capturing the essence of Cornwall in Carew's perspective.
