“[A] magnificent book . . . A glorious celebration of Graham’s ever-popular novels, the stunning BBC TV adaptation and breathtaking Cornwall.” —Lancashire Post The World of Poldark explores the characters, the compelling stories and the era that Winston Graham’s Poldark novels—and the television series—set out to recreate, the England that Ross Poldark returned to from the American War of Independence. England, and especially Cornwall, was then marked by social unrest and a deep division between rich and poor. It was a place of tin mines and shipwrecks, of new money versus old, of harsh justice and great kindness. Amid the turmoil of eighteenth-century Cornwall, Ross comes back to a home in ruins, his father dead and his childhood sweetheart engaged to another—his own heart as battered as the country around him. Experience the great houses and the glorious landscapes and follow the cast of characters as their stories play out against the backdrop of Cornwall’s wild beauty, through interviews with the actors, behind the scenes insights and in-depth information on costumes, props and locations. Packed full of behind the scenes photographs, The World of Poldark is the ultimate guide to the popular series. “If you’re interested in the show and missed the first season, or a fan of the books or possibly just think Aidan Turner is super hot, this a good book for you.” —The Parkersburg News and Sentinel “Beautifully produced . . . a downright pleasant surprise, a detailed and engaging look at book, show, and history where it could easily have gotten away with merely being a detailed look at fuzzy pectorals.” —Open Letters Monthly
