' British Railways Past & Present' is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago & comparing them with the same scene today. Such is the current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years can reduce a busy & vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or housing estate
- or conversely can bring electrification & up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated run-down route. The contrasts are often dramatic while sometimes hardly anything has altered in 30 or 40 years. Whatever the change the comparison of 'past' & 'present' will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast & historian but also anyone interested in our recent history. This volume covers all the lines within & passing through the North & East of the County of Northamptonshire: * LNWR Blisworth-Peterborough (Nene Valley) line through Northampton Bridge Street to Elton * LNWR Seaton-Peterborough line at King's Cliffe & Nassington * Midland Main Line from Irchester through Wellingborough & Kettering to Desborough * MR branch to Northampton St John's Street * MR Rushden & Higham Ferrers branch * MR Kettering-Harringworth line via Corby * MR Kettering-St Ives branch as far as Raunds

. ..in suspecting General Tilney of either murdering or shutting up his wife she had scarcely sinned against his character or magnified his cruelty. Northanger Abbey is about the misadventures of Catherine Morland young ingenuous & mettlesome & an indefatigable reader of gothic novels. Their romantic excess & dark overstatement feed her imagination as tyrannical fathers & diabolical villains work their evil on forlorn heroines in isolated settings. What could be more remote from the uneventful securities of life in the midland counties of England? Yet as Austen brilliantly contrasts fiction with reality ordinary life takes a more sinister turn & edginess & circumspection are reaffirmed alongside comedy & literary burlesque. Also including Austens other short fictions Lady Susan The Watsons & Sanditon this valuable new edition examines the ambitious & innovative works with which she inaugurated as well as closed her career. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
