Review of Roger Cowles, The Making of the Severn Railway Tunnel (1989); Pamela Horn, The Victorian and Edwardian Schoolchild (1990); and John Van de Kiste, Edward VII’s Children (1989)

Abstract

Calls all three books valuable for general readers wishing an introduction to the Victorians’ railway industry and educational systems. Concludes that each is based on sound research but all lack the full scholarly apparatus that would make them useful to other researchers.
