After a critical evaluation of diary writing, the ways in which mobility changed over time, interacted with new forms of transport technology, and varied from place to place are examined. Further chapters focus on the roles of family and life course, gender, income and class, and journey purpose in shaping mobilities, including immobility. It is argued that easy and frequent everyday mobilities were experienced by most of the diarists studied, that travellers could exercise their own agency to adapt easily to new forms of transport technology, but that factors such as gender, class, and location also created significant mobility inequalities. Colin G. Pooley is Emeritus Professor of Social and Historical Geography in the Environment Centre and the Centre for Mobilities Studies (CeMoRe), Lancaster University, UK. His research focuses on the social geography of Britain and continental Europe since circa 1800, with recent projects focused on residential migration, travel to work, everyday mobilities and sustainable transport. Marilyn E. Pooley is an Historical Geographer. She was formerly a Teaching Associate in the Environment Centre at Lancaster University, UK, and in retirement is researching (with Colin Pooley) everyday mobility in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain using life writing. . 410 0$aStudies in Mobilities, Literature, and Culture 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aCreative nonfiction 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aCollective memory 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aNon-Fiction Literature 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aMemory Studies 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aCreative nonfiction. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aCollective memory. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aNon-Fiction Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aMemory Studies. 676 $a380.5 676 $a388.094109034 700 $aPooley$b Colin G.$0323271 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910619276003321 996 $aEveryday Mobilities in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century British Diaries$92954912 997 $aUNINA
