Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. [14], 354 pages. Frontis. Illustrations. Notes. Index. This is one of the Penguin History of American Life. Ernest Freeberg is an American historian in 19th and 20th-century American culture, currently a Distinguished Humanities Professor and Departmental Chair of History at the University of Tennessee. In 2002, he was awarded the John H. Dunning Prize. Dr. Freeberg's research interests center on the cultural and intellectual history of the United States in the 19th and early 20th century. The Age of Edison, explores the impact of electric light on the development of modern American culture. His Democracy's Prisoner: Eugene V. Debs explores imprisonment of the socialist and the role played in promoting civil liberties in America. Democracy's Prisoner won the Langum Prize in American Legal History and the Oboler Award from the American Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Roundtable. The author begins as the inventor struggles to find a suitable filament for his bulb. Freeberg then takes us on a tour of the electric world as it emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Freeberg also examines how the spread of light across the country came to symbolize not just American inventiveness, but for many, cultural superiority. The author notes that, for a while, light was the property of the well-to-do, then of urban dwellers and, finally, of rural Americans, many of whom did not have electricity until the rural electrification projects of the New Deal. Freeberg also shows the gradual growth of the profession of electrician, the standardization of products and the rise of university degrees in electrical engineering.…
