      abstract = {This is an innovative and original socio-cultural study of  the history of electricity during the late Victorian and  Edward periods. Gooday shows how technology, authority and  gender interacted in pre-World War I Britain.  The rapid  take-up of electrical light and domestic appliances on both  sides of the Atlantic had a wide-ranging effect on consumer  habits and the division of labour within the home.  Electricity was viewed by non-experts as potential threat  to domestic order and welfare. This broadly  interdisciplinary study relates to a website developed by  the author on the history of electricity.},
