Although a great deal has been published on the economic, social
and engineering history of nineteenth-century railways, the work of
historical geographers has been much less conspicuous. This
overview by David Turnock goes a long way towards restoring the
balance. It details every important aspect of the railway's
influence on spatial distribution of economic and social change,
providing a full account of the nineteenth-century geography of the
British Isles seen in the context of the railway. The book reviews
and explains the shape of the developing railway network, beginning
with the pre-steam railways and connections between existing road
and water communications and the new rail lines. The author also
discusses the impact of the railways on the patterns of industrial,
urban and rural change throughout the century. Throughout, the
historical geography of Ireland is treated in equal detail to that
of Great Britain.
