| Railways and the Victorian Imagination |
| By : Michael J. Freeman |
In this illustrated history, Freeman (Oxford Univ.) traces the cultural and social effect that railways had on 19th-century British society. By the 1860s, railways were physically, economically, and culturally pervasive--railroad tracks crisscrossed the country, and railway construction organized and harnessed vast sums of capital and tens of thousands of laborers. Profusely illustrated with photos, maps, and paintings, this book is a visual treat. The text stands on its own as a well-documented work of scholarship. Recommended for academic libraries collecting railroad or British history.
