In Mobility, Space and Culture, Peter Merriman draws upon theoretical and empirical work from across the social sciences and humanities to provide a critical evaluation of the relationship between 'mobility' and 'place'/'site', reformulating places as in process, open, and dynamic spatial formations. He examines experiences of, and social reactions to, driving in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain to trace how the motor-car became associated with sensations of movement-space and enmeshed with debates about embodiment, health, visuality, gender and politics.
Peter Merriman is a Reader in the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University, Wales. He is the author of Driving Spaces: A Cultural-Historical Geography of England's M1 Motorway (Blackwell, 2007) and an editor of Geographies of Mobilities (Ashgate, 2011) and the forthcoming Handbook of Mobilities (Routledge, 2013).
