"The Cylinder" investigates the surprising proliferation of
cylindrical objects in the nineteenth century, such as steam
engines, phonographs, panoramas, rotary printing presses, silos,
safety locks, and many more. Examining this phenomenon through the
lens of kinematics, the science of forcing motion, Helmut
Muller-Sievers provides a new view of the history of mechanics and
of the culture of the industrial revolution, including its
literature that focuses on the metaphysics and aesthetics of
motion. Muller-Sievers explores how nineteenth-century prose falls
in with the specific rhythm of cylindrical machinery, re-imagines
the curvature of cylindrical spaces, and conjoins narrative
progress and reflection in a single stylistic motion. Illuminating
the intersection of engineering, culture, and literature, he argues
for a concept of culture that includes an epoch's relation to the
motion of its machines.
