Transport and mobility history is one of the most exciting areas of
historical research at the present. As its scope expands, it entices
scholars working in fields as diverse as historical geography,
management studies, sociology, industrial archaeology, cultural and
literary studies, ethnography, and anthropology, as well as those
working in various strands of historical research. Containing
contributions exploring transport and mobility history after 1800,
this volume of eclectic chapters shows how new subjects are explored,
new sources are being encountered, considered and used, and how
increasingly diverse and innovative methodological lenses are applied
to both new and well-travelled subjects. From canals to Concorde, from
freight to passengers, from screen to literature, the contents of this
book will therefore not only demonstrate the cutting edge of research,
and deliver valuable new insights into the role and position of
transport and mobility in history, but it will also evidence the many
and varied directions and possibilities that exist for the field’s
future development.
