The 19th-century steam railway epitomized modernity’s relentlessly onrushing advance. Ian Carter delves into the cultural impact of the train. Why, for example, did Britain possess no great railway novel? He compares fiction and images by canonical British figures (Turner, Dickens, Arnold Bennett) with selected French and Russian competitors: Tolstoy, Zola, Monet, Manet. He argues that while high cultural work on the British steam railway is thin, British popular culture did not ignore it. Detailed discussions of comic fiction, crime fiction, and cartoons reveal a popular fascination with railways tumbling from vast (and hitherto unexplored) stores of critically overlooked genres.

Foster, Timothy Charles: Tracks in the sand. A railwayman’s war; herausgegeben von James Foster Dodds und Catherine Dodds, [Wivenhoe]: Jardine Press . 2017 – 193 unnumbered pages : 245 photos (some colour) ; 21 cm , ISBN 978-0-9934779-4-2

Tim Foster was a North Eastern railwayman who enlisted early in the first world war, was sent to Gallipoli where he contracted typhoid fever, and repatriated to England to recover. Returning to the Middle East, this time as a soldier/railwayman, he was in charge of the El Kubri Light Railway, then on the Sinai Miltary Railway, stationmaster at Jerusalem, and finally on the Hejaz Railway.Two things make this book completely different from most railway books – firstly when he went to Egypt after recovering Tim took a camera, and recorded everything he saw, with railway operations being in the majority. Secondly, having got engaged when he went off to war, Tim and his beloved Pollie wrote to each other on an almost daily basis. Many of his letters are included here and have vast amounts of detail on his work, life in the front line and local customs, as well as making plans for getting married, what they would do when the war ended and so on. The letters give an intimate glimpse into what life was like during the First World War for both soldiers and their loved ones, and the photographs give a good look at the railways and areas Tim was posted to. The photographs and the letters survived and passed down Tim’s family, and this book has been edited and published by his grandson.
