Book excerpt: A sweeping history of the electric light revolution and the birth of modern America The late nineteenth century was a period of explosive technological creativity, but more than any other invention, Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb marked the arrival of modernity, transforming its inventor into a mythic figure and avatar of an era. In The Age of Edison, award-winning author and historian Ernest Freeberg weaves a narrative that reaches from Coney Island and Broadway to the tiniest towns of rural America, tracing the progress of electric light through the reactions of everyone who saw it and capturing the wonder Edison’s invention inspired. It is a quintessentially American story of ingenuity, ambition, and possibility in which the greater forces of progress and change are made by one of our most humble and ubiquitous objects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Incandescent Lamp The Incandescent Electric Lamp as made and patented by Mr. Edison, is the foundation stone upon which the great electric light and power industry of today has been built. The great electric companies which were organized in the early 80's, - the Edison Electric Illuminating Companies, as they were generally known, in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and in many other places - were organized to light their territories with the Edison incandescent lamp. This was practically the only business or source of revenue that these companies had, since electric motors were not well developed and came slowly into use. When Mr. Edison started to make a lamp factory at Menlo Park, in the fall of 1880, he started an entirely new industry. He could get no tools, machinery, or experience from other industries, therefore they all had to be created, designed, and built from experience as he went along. Lamps were still more or less of a mystery, and the simple laws relating to them were not well understood. Electrical instruments were home made, as no suitable ones could be purchased. The Harrison lamp factory was wired with bare wire, stapled on the wood beams, and no cut-outs or switches were available. An Archimedes screw pump for raising the mercury used in exhausting lamps was the only piece of machinery used in the Menlo Park lamp factory, except the blower used by the glass blowers and in the carbonizing room. Constant experimenting was done to determine the relative advantages of different ways of performing the various operations, and it was a long time before definite methods were settled upon. These methods were frequently changed as more experience was accumulated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: How electric light created new spaces that transformed the built environment and the perception of modern architecture. In this book, Sandy Isenstadt examines electric light as a form of architecture—as a new, uniquely modern kind of building material. Electric light was more than just a novel way of brightening a room or illuminating a streetscape; it brought with it new ways of perceiving and experiencing space itself. If modernity can be characterized by rapid, incessant change, and modernism as the creative response to such change, Isenstadt argues, then electricity—instantaneous, malleable, ubiquitous, evanescent—is modernity's medium. Isenstadt shows how the introduction of electric lighting at the end of the nineteenth century created new architectural spaces that altered and sometimes eclipsed previously existing spaces. He constructs an architectural history of these new spaces through five examples, ranging from the tangible miracle of the light switch to the immaterial and borderless gloom of the wartime blackout. He describes what it means when an ordinary person can play God by flipping a switch; when the roving cone of automobile headlights places driver and passenger at the vertex of a luminous cavity; when lighting in factories is seen to enhance productivity; when Times Square became an emblem of illuminated commercial speech; and when the absence of electric light in a blackout produced a new type of space. In this book, the first sustained examination of the spatial effects of electric lighting, Isenstadt reconceives modernism in architecture to account for the new perceptual conditions and visual habits that followed widespread electrification.
