This was not simply Du Maurier’s jaundiced perception. See Mitchell on “The 1960s Population Turnaround” (Peter Mitchell, “The Demographic Revolution,” in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornwall Since the War: The Contemporary History of a European Region, Truro: Institute of Cornish Studies / Dyllansow Truran, 1993, 135-156, 140-142), and Williams and Shaw on the impact of tourism: “The growth of mass tourism in Cornwall brought with it the demand for cheaper holiday accommodation. This was met by chalets, caravan and camping sites […] there was a 310% increase in the number of chalets between 1954 and 1964” (Allan M. Williams and Gareth Shaw, “The Age of Mass Tourism,” in Philip Payton (ed.), op. cit., 84-97, 87).

For example, recent acquisitions by the University of Exeter Archives, and the Rowley’s sale catalogue for “The du Maurier Collection” (particularly Daphne’s regular correspondence with Maureen Baker-Munton, much of it written from Kilmarth), which was generously shared on line at rowleyfineart.com for a short period in 2019. The Papers of Sir Victor Gollancz at the University of Warwick reveal Daphne’s interest across a spectrum of political matters from apartheid to nuclear disarmament.

For example, Ali Smith, Autumn (Hamish Hamilton, 2016) and Jonathan Coe, Middle England (Viking, 2018). Ian McEwan, who took 1980s Britain out of Europe in Machines Like Me (Jonathan Cape, 2019), followed up with his satirical post-referendum novella The Cockroach (Vintage, 2019). A key character in John le Carré’s Agent Running in the Field (Viking, 2019) fulminates against the referendum; even Julian Barnes, publishing a biography on a completely different subject, The Man in the Red Coat (Jonathan Cape, 2019), has been unable to resist adding an author’s note on the country’s deluded departure from the European Union.

Rowley’s sale catalogue, 4 October 1976: “If a bye-law is passed, forbidding the dog-owners of Cornwall to walk in the above places, I will personally guarantee to organise a campaign next season beside which the activities of the I.R.A. in Northern Ireland will seem like a curate’s tea-party.” The IRA connection shockingly surfaced again in 1979, when news came through to Daphne and her son on a picnic at Chapel Point that the distinguished war-time commander Lord Mountbatten, whom she had known through her husband, had been blown up on his fishing boat in County Sligo.

Letter to Oriel Malet, 10 November 1967, 212.
3 February 1969, 225. The editor of MK’s party magazine, Cornish Nation, at this time was Derek Tozer (Deacon et al., Mebyon Kernow and Cornish Nationalism, 58 note 30). Possibly taking her cue from Du Maurier’s earlier letter, Forster (Daphne Du Maurier, 372) confusingly uses capital letters to refer to MK as the Cornish Nationalist Party; a breakaway party under this name was founded in 1975 – not to be confused with the Cornish National Party, founded in 1969 (Deacon et al. Mebyon Kernow and Cornish Nationalism, 56, 65-66).

See for example, The Telegraph, 22 June 2014, <https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/10918171/David-Camerons-holiday-phone-signal-is-so-bad-he-calls-world-leaders-from-the-top-of-a-Cornwall-hill.html>, accessed on 20 May 2019.
Goodhart contends that, although the Remain/Leave divide does not map “straightforwardly” onto his Anywhere/Somewhere groupings, “the values, attitudes, preferences and intuitions of most Leave voters match up with a large part of the Somewhere world view” (David Goodhart, The Road to Somewhere: The Populist Revolt and the Future of Politics, London: Hurst, 2017, 26).
The vote in Cornwall was based on competing assumptions, and on this occasion Mebyon Kernow backed Remain. In 1975, MK had supported the other side, while the newly formed Cornish Nationalist Party had upheld the idea of a stronger Cornwall in a united Europe; overall, though, regionalism did not have a significant impact on the 1975 referendum debate, and MK’s position on this issue does not appear to have made deep inroads into Daphne’s thinking. Rule Britannia was to her a clear statement of support for Britain’s place in Europe, a position that is implied in the novel by the repercussions of withdrawal, rather than explicitly raised.

Forster’s note on George Hunkin (Margaret Forster, op. cit., 431 note 2) shows some confusion. Daphne, in her own name, bought the Slade boatyard below East Street in Polruan, not George’s boatyard at Bodinnick, and sold it in the mid-1960s. George’s tea-time visits to Menabilly are recalled by Christian Browning.

Local people may read the novel differently. Cornishman Bert Biscoe was unconvinced by my argument on stereotyping, when we shared a platform at Fowey Festival in May 2019, pointing out that in the case of Jack Trembath, there were still wrestling matches with Brittany in the 1960s. It is also worth noting that traditional occupations like fishing and mining continue to hold symbolic potency in Cornwall. A persuasive motif of the pre-2016 referendum debate was the effect of European restrictions on fishing rights, even though the industry makes a relatively small contribution to the Cornish economy.

In her 1978 foreword to Philip Varcoe’s booklet, China Clay, Daphne describes her parents’ initial concerns about Ferryside’s proximity to the noisy loading port at Fowey, and records her own ‘admiration for all that the china clay industry had done for Cornwall and Cornish men and women’ (3).
