Exeter rose seven places to 18th – its highest ever position. It also made major gains in The Times league table. The move upwards was a reflection of the changes made to the University over the previous two years. Those changes were designed to focus resources on our strongest performing areas of academic activity. Through the league tables a picture emerges of a University whose strengths include high entry tariffs, strong student satisfaction, low drop out rates and a high proportion of students achieving Firsts and 2:1s. Growth is another indicator of success and Exeter is now the third largest teaching grant holder in the 1994 Group. Increases in student numbers have enabled the University to gain critical mass and spread overheads. several years to come. Future research income will increasingly be informed by the use of metrics (value of One of the major factors in our league table improvement research grants, number of postgraduate research students has been a strong performance in the National Student etc), so our research strategy has also focused on ensuring Survey.

    Introduction: Re-Thinking Early Medieval Cornwall Why Would

    Introduction: re-thinking early medieval Cornwall Why would someone whose teaching and research career was based firmly on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries set off on what might prove to be a dangerous foray into early medieval Cornwall? Early retirement gave me the time to start reading up on a period of which I was relatively unaware. Once begun, I was hooked. It soon became clear that, over the past few decades, an immense amount of scholarship has been devoted to the early history of Cornwall. This is a body of work that potentially revolutionises our understanding of Cornwall between the departure of the Romans in the fifth century and the coming of the Normans in the eleventh. Yet only potentially. While historians and archaeologists of the early medieval British Isles have been busy churning out fascinating new studies of the period,1 to an outsider Cornish medieval studies look more quiescent, becalmed in a backwater. In some forgotten side creek, we discover its proponents wandering around their stagnant mausoleum. Their rituals have grown rotten with age, their methods are festooned with cobwebs, dangling through the echoing halls. We glimpse its denizens peering ever more myopically at scraps of tattered evidence, textual and material, the holy relics that they revere as they recycle a set of hoary old myths about Cornwall. As I explored the work on this early period of our past, I became increasingly surprised and not a little irritated that no-one has bothered to write an up-to-date or convincing narrative history of early medieval Cornwall.
