Railway and novel infrastructure shared the task of getting nineteenth-century society moving in new ways. In canonical fiction by Dickens, Gaskell, Trollope, Eliot, Hardy, and Forster, Nicola Kirkby reveals imaginative entanglement between new large-scale infrastructure and changing logistical possibilities of the novel in the first railway age.
