Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Locomotion: Containing Interesting Descriptions of the Rise and Development of the Railroad Systems in All Parts of the World The countryside shimmers peacefully in the summer sun. As we rest on the bridge we are aware of the murmur of insect life that fills the air, and the trim neatness of the hedges that top the cutting, and the soft background of woodland and meadow melting away in the heat-haze. But our thoughts turn chiefly to the bright metal bars that stretch beneath us and far into the distance, where a bend in the track just saves them from the appearance of converging into a single whole. The telegraph wires, gently thrumming in the light wind, whisper the secrets of the railway. The gleaming rails are silently eloquent of its life and bustle; for as the dusty road tells its story of many passing wheels, so do the polished ribbons below, fixed firmly to the well-packed sleepers, testify to the travels of the Iron Horse, that wonderful machine which, urged by the furnace flaming in its vitals, is the embodiment at once of human skill, and power, and resistless motion.

From his pioneering missionary work on the Queen Charlotte Islands to his ventures on the Skeena River and South-Eastern Alaska, the author's firsthand experiences paint a vivid picture of a land teeming with ancient traditions and the ever-present danger of head-hunting Haidas.

Challenges conventional views of the Edwardian period as either a hangover of Victorianism or a bystander to literary modernismIn this ground-breaking study, Jonathan Wild investigates the literary history of the Edwardian decade. This period, long overlooked by critics, is revealed as a vibrant cultural era whose writers were determined to break away from the stifling influence of preceding Victorianism. In the hands of this generation, which included writers such as Arnold Bennett, Joseph Conrad, E. M. Forster, Beatrix Potter, and H.G. Wells, the new century presented a unique opportunity to fashion innovative books for fresh audiences. Wild traces this literary innovation by conceptualising the focal points of his study as branches of one of the new department stores that epitomized Edwardian modernity.a These adepartments war and imperialism, the rise of the lower middle class, childrens literature, technology and decadence, and the condition of England offer both discrete and interconnected ways in which to understand the distinctiveness and importance of the Edwardian literary scene. Overall, The Great Edwardian Emporium offers a long-overdue investigation into a decade of literature that provided the cultural foundation for the coming century.
