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. | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | 关键词 | Life Writing; mobility studies; travel; diaries; British history; British and Irish Literature; Literature | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12684-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-12686-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-12684-0Series ISSN 2946-4838 Series E-ISSN 2946-4846 | issn_series | 2946-4838 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
