by Wolfgang Schivelbusch

Description
Wolfgang Schivelbusch tells the story of the development of artificial light in the nineteenth century.
Not simply a history of a technology, Disenchanted Night reveals the ways that the technology of artificial illumination helped forge modern consciousness.
In his strikingly illustrated and lively narrative, Schivelbusch discusses a range of subject including the political symbolism of street lamps, the rise of night-life and the shop-window, and the importance of the salon in bourgeois culture.
