Beschreibung

This edited collection of essays shows how new electrical technology changed rural life in Britain in the twentieth century, drawing comparisons with other countries and periods. It is concerned not only with the changing availability and different forms of electrical supplies to various parts of the country, but also with the effects of electrification on domestic and economic life and on rural culture.
