In my private life, I am a social historian with a particular interest in the marginalisation of minority cultures by mainstream cultures. Since these minorities are usually under-represented, and subject to cultural obliteration, where a conflict arises between the core and the periphery, I tend to err in favour of the periphery. I have come to this conclusion after studying the way in which the culture and history of my native Cornwall has been trampled and rewritten in favour of an anglo-centric homogoneity.
Some pages I have worked on:
- History of England, English Civil War, Bretwalda, History of London
- Dubious historical resources
- Plymouth, England, Cornwall, Devon
- Cricket, Plymouth Argyle F.C.
- Irish Republican Army
- Dartmoor
- Roger Casement
- William Empson, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Marina Tsvetaeva, Old English poetry
- Brion Gysin
- Joseph Conrad, Carmilla
- Cornish language
- al-Qaida
- Samhain (major rewrite)
- Doctor Who,Father Ted
- Violette Szabo Special Operations Executive
