Rolt is still a towering figure in the fields of inland waterways, preserved railways and post-war conservation. A bridge and a locomotive have been named after him, and there is a Rolt Prize, Rolt Fellows and an annual Rolt Lecture. He played a crucial role in the revival of Britain's inland waterways and pioneered the first preserved narrow-gauge railway. In this fascinating series of linked essays, Joseph Boughey explains aspects of Rolt’s earlier life and work, and sets his writing and practice in a broader context, considering such themes as the landscapes Rolt knew; the nature of travel and ‘country’ writing; the 1930s\/40s organicist movement; English canals and navigable rivers from the 1930s to the ‘50s, including practical campaigning; the background to early railway preservation; and the nature of craft, craftspeople and preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46516537131263,"sku":"9781803992716","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_22195c75-19b5-48d0-8e45-61a150d266a9.jpg?v=1738605915","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781803992716","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
