About This Book

A detailed biographical portrait of Robert Stephen Hawker that follows his childhood and clerical career in a remote Cornish parish, combining life events with recollections of his poetry, antiquarian interests, and eccentricities. The narrative interleaves parish history, church architecture, local legends and shipwrecks, and vivid anecdotes about his pastoral care, hospitality, charitable instincts, relationships with parishioners, and unconventional dress and habits. Chapters catalogue neighbors, superstitions, political and ecclesiastical conflicts, animal tales, and discoveries of manuscripts, offering a textured account of provincial religious life and the singular personality who animated it.

One letter from Sir Bevil to the Chancellor of the Diocese, to oblige the minister of Suttcombe to let the parish get a lecturer, as he is scarce able to read, utterly unable to preach, and what he speaks in the church can hardly be understood—one letter signed Clanricarde, another signed G. Talbot—a pass signed Jo. Coplestown.
