Few historians have written about walking, despite its obvious centrality to the human condition. Walking Histories, 1800-1914 adopts a global perspective, including contributions from specialists in the history and culture of Great Britain, North America, Australia, Russia, East-Central Europe, and South Asia.

“Striking into new territory, Walking Histories demonstrates walking's foundational participation in modernity. Eleven essays range through Britain, Europe and Asia, opening fresh perspectives on the richly-varied, potentially contradictory meanings of walking as conservative tradition and radical resistance, as return to nature and commercial opportunity, as sport and act of piety.” (Anne D. Wallace, UNC Greensboro, US)
