"Fiddler of the Reels"
- handles the (indirect) impact of the Great Exhibition on four people's lives
- see Black 2000
- also an interesting phrase about periodicity and history in literary texts:
For South Wessex, the year [1851] formed in many ways an extraordinary chronological frontier or transit line, at which there occured what one might call a precipice in Time. As in a geological 'fault', we had presented to us a sudden bringing together of ancient and modern into absolute contiguity, such as probably in no other single year since the Conquest was ever witnessed in this part of the country.
- Also Gidal 2015
