This innovative book reveals the full extent of electricity's
significance in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century culture.
Ranging across a vast array of materials, Sam Halliday shows how
electricity functioned as both a means of representing "other"
things--from love and solidarity to embodiment and temporality--and
as an object of representation in its own right. As well as
Hawthorne, Melville, Twain and James, the book considers other
major American writers such as Whitman, Margaret Fuller and Henry
Adams; English writers such as Hardy and Kipling; and a galaxy of
scientists and social commentators, including mesmerists,
physicians, conspiracy theorists, psychologists and theologians.
