Description
"This book reveals the full extent of electricity's significance in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century culture. Ranging across a vast array of materials, Halliday shows how electricity functioned as both a means of representing "other" things - from love and solidarity to embodiment and temporality - and as an object of representation in its own right. As well as Hawthorne, Melville, Twain, and James, the book considers other major American writers such as Whitman, Margaret Fuller, and Henry Adams; English writers such as Hardy and Kipling; and a galaxy of scientists and social commentators, including mesmerists, physicians, conspiracy theorists, psychologists, and theologians."--Jacket.
