Gathering international expertise, its 14 original essays explore the ways in which the social, historical, and cultural impacts of transport integrate with the concerns of fiction across a century marked by both unprecedented technological change and the entrenchment of the novel as the dominant literary form. Analyzing textual synthesis of technological advances with rapidly shifting cultural perspectives, the volume explores fiction's fascination with transport's symbolism and its impact upon character, relationships, and society. Exploring transport in contexts including gender, class, sexuality, colonialism, war, urbanism, modernity, travel, crime, and science fiction, the volume offers innovative perspectives on the fictional portrayal of new transport technologies that were as democratizing and progressive as they were threatening and destabilizing"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Transportation in literature. 650 0 $a Transportation $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Transportation $x Technological innovations $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a HISTORY $x 19th Century. $x 19th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x 20th Century. $x 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. $x English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRANSPORTATION $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Transportation in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155306 650 7 $a Transportation $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155204 650 7 $a Transportation $x Technological innovations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155227 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Roman. $0 (DE-588)4050479-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Verkehr. $0 (DE-588)4121850-4 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1800 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Gavin, Adrienne E., $d 1962- $e editor. $e editor. 700 1 $a Humphries, Andrew F., $d 1962- $e editor. $e editor. 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in nineteenth-century writing and culture. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020022628.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603013008.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F56A3E5AECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
