In the Prologue, Joshua reflects that he has no faith in doctors. (I wonder what it was that killed him?) Later, Mr. Treneglos tells Ross that he mistrusts doctors and instead relies on rhubarb. WG's descriptions of diseases and doctors' remedies make this widely held mistrust understandable. Man...

Poldark series 5 is expected to air on BBC 1 on 16th June. It will be the last and will cover a period of 18 months from the end of The Angry Tide. Debbie Horsfield says she has found references in later books to events during that period. My feeling is one of relief that I shan't need to think about the serie...

Do you think that apart from from the genuine shock and worry for Ross over Elizabeth's death, that some part of Demelza must have been feeling very relieved? Surely she would not be human if she didn't have thoughts about her 'rival' finally being unable to come between her and Ross, however deeply...

And your own life with Demelza? He met Veritys eyes and then glanced down at the books he had been arranging. What makes you ask? My dear, for the usual reason, because I want to know. Did you suppose there should be some special reason for the question? Not unless you tell me so. But we hav...

I came across this today and thought it might be of interest. Apparently The Poldark Mine Facebook page is releasing more photographs of things Poldark related. Thought to be the inspiration for the Warleggan family. KernowPhoto18 May 2016Trengwainton House, PenzanceTrengwaington is the an...

I was rereading the scene in "The Four Swans" in which George and Elizabeth are discussing their invitation to the Enys wedding. George steers the conversation toward Ross and asks Elizabeth her current feelings about him: Page 24 "The Four Swans" "Tell me, Elizabeth, what do you think of Ross Pol...

Original post by Mrs. Gimlett.... ________________________ My view of Ross' childhood is this. He had a loving relationship with his mother and father until sadly, Grace died when Ross was 10. After Joshua went back to his scurrilous ways, Ross was not unloved. He certainly had an unconventi...

The Son of Osborne and Morwenna. After Osborne dies, Morwenna gives him up to be adopted by Lady Whitworth, because she is afraid he will grow up to be just like his father, of whom she has such bad memories. Indeed, later in the books it is described that Conan looks a lot like his father, and is often il...

Music is a very sympathetic character, I believe. He is possibly mildly mentally disabled, but he has a good heart and always the best of intentions. He is a dilligent worker, he's good with horses, and he is self-conscious of the fact that many people in the villiage mock him. He seeks advice from D...

The mother of Rev. Osborne Whitworth. Rather snobbish. She adopted John Conan Whitworth after Osborne died. Morwenna didn't want John Conan because she was afraid he would grow up to be just like his father. -- Edited by Namparagirl on Wednesday 28th of March 2012 08:37:00 PM

The daughter of Drake and Morwenna. She is described as being awkward, and not conventionally pretty, but very much doted on by both of her parents. She forms a friendship with her cousin Bella Poldark upon first meeting her.

Caroline Penvenen's pug, and the agent of Dwight and Caroline's first meeting (one of the best scenes in Jeremy). There is mention of a Horace the Third.

The daughter of John and Ruth Trengelos. She is mentally handicapped. Valentine takes advantage of her sexually, and breaks her heart.

She is the daughter of Jim and Jinny, and the sister of Ben Carter. She meets Music Thomas when they both work for Selina Pope at Place House. Katie is described as raterh awkward and clumsy, and she talks with a strong dialect. Music falls helplessly in love with her, but she is unable to se him as anyt...

Demelza's dog. He helps to bring Ross and Demelza together at the Redruth Fair. He's a very sweet dog, and very loyal to Demelza. Ross gets very anrgy with George Warleggan once when Demelza is walking with Garrick near the Warleggan estate and one of George's gamekeepers shoots at Garrick.
