Exploring the life of a quintessentially English poet, the book delves into Betjeman's unique position as an outsider in both England and Cornwall. It highlights his efforts to embrace a 'Cornishness' that reflected a Celtic identity, drawing inspiration from the region's rich Anglo-Catholic heritage. Through this lens, the narrative reveals the complexities of belonging and cultural assimilation in Betjeman's work and life.
