Items related to Railways & the Victorian Imagination

The cultural dimension of the railway age is often overshadowed by its mechanical and physical elements. Here its centrality in the literary, artistic and imaginative life of the nation is set side by side with its financial, speculative and economic aspects to provide an original insight into the realities of Victorian life.

From the Publisher
A selection of reviews for this well received book:
'Michael Freeman's work, on the face of it, is an uncommonly elegant picture book...As logical as it is discursive, this survey is set fair to become a classic.' - Christopher Hawtree - The Independent
'Michael Freeman has produced a luscious, luxurious book...the pictures throughout the book are simply beautiful.' - Kathryn Hughes - The Tablet
'carefully footnoted and beautifully illustrated...It is best to consider Freeman's book not as an "imaginative history of the railway" but as an informative and stimulating examination of the "cultural relations" of the railway.' - Asa Briggs - Times Higher Education Supplement

hardcover. Condition: Acceptable. Rip to the cover (or dustjacket if hardback), or significant tearing to pages. Please see the condition note after this for details, if this is missing please consider Acceptable to mean poor quality that could include major staining, water damage, writing, missing dustjacket, etc etc. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
