A Measure of Freedom

This book provides the first systematic account of the nature and importance of our judgements about degrees of freedom. Author Ian Carter analyzes the normative assumptions behind the claim that individuals are entitled to a measure of freedom. He argues for a conception of freedom that not only reflects commonly held intuitions about who is freer than who but is also compatible with a liberal or freedom-based theory of justice.

Transportation

The steam railway epitomized modernity's relentlessly onrushing advance. Ian Carter delves into the cultural impact of train technology, and how it was represented in British society. Why, for example, did Britain possess no great railway novel? He compares fiction and images by some canonical British figures (Turner, Dickens, Arnold Bennett) with selected French and Russian competitors: Tolstoy, Zola, Monet, Manet. Detailed discussions of comic fiction, crime fiction and cartoons reveal a popular fascination with railways tumbling from vast (and hitherto unexplored) stores of critically overlooked genres.
