Indeed, the pattern of human activity only begins to clear after about 7000 B.C., when we can envisage a Mesolithic population of hunter-gatherers moving from place to place in search of migratory animals like red deer and wild pigs and in spring and autumn exploiting the resources of the sea as shellfish and whitefish made their seasonal incursions into coastal waters. It was at this time, during the Palaeolithic period, that the first inhabitants began to arrive, although we know very little about these very early pioneers in Cornwall. A severe climate, near-arctic conditions and a landscape resembling a polar desert would have made vegetation growth impossible, and another 3,000 years had to pass before the gradual rise in temperature allowed the slow advance of first scrubland and then forest. ![]() ![]() ![]() A History of Cornwall Prehistoric Cornwall Relief map of CornwallĪbout 13,000 years ago, when the last ice age was in full retreat and Britain was still joined to mainland Europe, the peninsula which we now know as Cornwall would have been one of the most inhospitable regions of the western world. ![]() ![]() ![]() But there was a third figure: Alice Kober, without whose painstaking work, recorded on pieces of paper clipped from hymn-sheets and magazines and stored in cigarette boxes in her Brooklyn loft, Linear B might still remain a mystery. ![]() Two men have dominated Linear B in popular history: Arthur Evans, the intrepid Victorian archaeologist who unearthed Linear B at Knossos and Michael Ventris, the dashing young amateur who produced a solution.

It wasn't clear to me, though, how this theme fitted with the main story. And the story itself is seems to me to be deliberately 'immoral' - characters have adulterous affairs, illegitimate children, divorces, and this is all presented as absolutely normal, which I am sure was scandalous at the time the book was written. There are many references to famous lies, frauds and scandals of the period, from La Grande Therese to the Dreyfus affair. The student grows up to be a journalist, and with his friends and colleagues they talk about theories of morality and truth. There's clearly a theme of morality running through the book. And so this time around, it's much more dark and bitter. But of course, if she were still so innocent, they would not be able to embark on a love affair. But have they changed too much to rekindle their early romance? Well, actually, he hasn't changed all that much - he still dislikes the idea of promising himself to anybody, and he still needs her to be the innocent thing of his youthful dreams.
