This work of literary criticism explores literature about canals in Britain, from poetry about early industrial waterways in the eighteenth century to 'canal noir' in the twenty-first. Themes include water, climate, gender, Empire, fossils, nature, labour and time.
This book tracks the history of engineered water and canals in Great Britain.
Wherever a boat glides along a canal, a pen follows. Bringing together textual treasures from four centuries of waterways writing, The British Industrial Canal explores our relationship with engineered water and canal connections between our industrial and colonial pasts and the Anthropocene. This literary critical voyage travels from 1761, the opening of the Duke of Bridgewaters canal, to the present.
