Trains, Literature, and Culture

Reading and Writing the Rails

Herausgeber: Spalding, Steven D.; Fraser, Benjamin

Beschreibung

This volume delves into the rich connections between rail travel and the creation of cultural products from short stories to novels, from photographs to travel guides, and from artistic manifestos of the avant-garde to Freud's psychology. Each of the contributions engages in critical readings of textual or visual representations of trains across a wide spectrum of time periods and traditions-from English and American to Mexican, West African, and European literary cultures.
