Product Description

This three-volume collection of primary sources examines electric power in Victorian Britain. The first volume covers the works of those for whom electricity became a vessel to say new things about energy and create a new means of generating motive force. The second volume looks at how electric power imprinted on the political landscape of Great Britain and the Empire. The third volume reviews the formalization of electric power infrastructures, and looks at how many imagined electric power networks impacted the present and future. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of the History of Science.
