    "Transport in British Fiction: Technologies of Movement, 1840-1940 is the first essay collection devoted to transport and its various types--horse, train, tram, cab, omnibus, bicycle, ship, car, air and space--in British fiction. Gathering international expertise, its 14 original essays explore the ways in which the social, historical, and cultural impacts of transport integrate with the concerns of fiction across a century marked by both unprecedented technological change and the entrenchment of the novel as the dominant literary form.
