Since the advent of train travel, railways have compressed space and crossed national boundaries to become transnational icons, evoking hope, dread, progress, or obsolescence in different cultural domains. Spanning five continents and a diverse range of contexts, this collection offers an unprecedentedly broad survey of global representations of trains. From experimental novels to Hollywood blockbusters, the works studied here chart fascinating routes across a remarkably varied cultural landscape.
Benjamin Fraser is Professor of Spanish in the College of Humanities at the University of Arizona. He is the founding editor of the Journal of Urban Cultural Studies and co-editor of Trains, Mobility and Culture (2012) and Trains, Literature and Culture (2012).
