Abstract
One could easily make the argument that the nineteenth century witnessed a much more cataclysmic transformation in the shape of human life than the twentieth. In England in 1800, the vast majority of the population lived in rural communities where nearly all work was connected with agriculture. Home and work were interconnected. Communication with other places could only move as fast as a person, or horse, could walk. Newspapers were expensive to produce, and postage was high because travel was slow. Clocks were very expensive and for most people sunset concluded the day.
