Thousands of literary, popular, non-fiction and archival texts
since the eighteenth century document the human experience of the
British industrial canal. This book traces networks of literary
canal texts across four centuries to understand our relationships
with water, with place, and with the past. In our era of climate
crisis, this reading calls for a rethinking of the waterways of
literature not simply as an antique transport system, but as a
coal-fired energy system with implications for the present. This
book demonstrates how waterways literature has always been
profoundly interested in the things we dig out of the ground, and
the uses to which they are put. The industrial canal never just
connected parts of Britain: via its literature we read the ways in
which we are in touch with previous centuries and epochs, how
canals linked inland Britain to Empire, how they connected forms of
labour, and people to water.
