- Summary:
- In the first hundred years of the UK rail network, the seaside figures as a nerve centre, managing and making visible the period's complex interplay between health, death, gender and sexuality. This monograph discusses around 130 novels of the railway age to show how the seaside infiltrates a diverse range of literature, subverting the boundaries between high and low literary culture.
