This is an innovative and original socio-cultural study of the
history of electricity during the late Victorian and Edward
periods. Gooday shows how technology, authority and gender
interacted in pre-World War I Britain. The rapid take-up of
electrical light and domestic appliances on both sides of the
Atlantic had a wide-ranging effect on consumer habits and the
division of labour within the home. Electricity was viewed by
non-experts as potential threat to domestic order and welfare. This
broadly interdisciplinary study relates to a website developed by
the author on the history of electricity.
