This chapter examines Henry Jenner’s work on Cornish leading to the production of his Handbook of the Cornish Language (1904). It compares this work with Edwin Norris’s earlier Sketch of Cornish Grammar (1859) and considers the aims both men stated as to why they produced a Cornish grammar. It discusses the manuscripts of Jenner’s proposed Part III of his Handbook and posits reasons why these remained unpublished. These reasons are perhaps linked to the short-lived Celtic-Cornish Society, but Jenner’s correspondence with his publisher David Nutt also sheds some light on the matter as this chapter explores. The chapter also examines further elements of Jenner’s wider correspondence and his writings both in and about Cornish.

摘要

This chapter examines Henry Jenner’s work on Cornish leading to the production of his Handbook of the Cornish Language (1904). It compares this work with Edwin Norris’s earlier Sketch of Cornish Grammar (1859) and considers the aims both men stated as to why they produced a Cornish grammar. It discusses the manuscripts of Jenner’s proposed Part III of his Handbook and posits reasons why these remained unpublished. These reasons are perhaps linked to the short-lived Celtic-Cornish Society, but Jenner’s correspondence with his publisher David Nutt also sheds some light on the matter as this chapter explores. The chapter also examines further elements of Jenner’s wider correspondence and his writings both in and about Cornish.
