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.

Book excerpt: In September 1878, Thomas Alva Edison brashly—and prematurely—proclaimed his breakthrough invention of a workable electric light. That announcement was followed by many months of intense experimentation that led to the successful completion of his Pearl Street station four years later. Edison was not alone—nor was he first—in developing an incandescent light bulb, but his was the most successful of all competing inventions. Drawing from the documents in the Edison archives, Robert Friedel and Paul Israel explain how this came to be. They explore the process of invention through the Menlo Park notes, discussing the full range of experiments, including the testing of a host of materials, the development of such crucial tools as the world's best vacuum pump, and the construction of the first large-scale electrical generators and power distribution systems. The result is a fascinating story of excitement, risk, and competition. Revised and updated from the original 1986 edition, this definitive study of the most famous invention of America's most famous inventor is completely keyed to the printed and electronic versions of the Edison Papers, inviting the reader to explore further the remarkable original sources.

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.

Excerpt: ...on that branch be cut in one by one by turning the keys with which each socket is provided. For large chandeliers, a switch is generally arranged against the walls, at some suitable point in the room by which all the lamps on the chandelier may be turned on at one and the same time. Arrangements are often provided by which lamps may be turned on in the hall at the front door, and extinguished from the top of the stairs, thus allowing one to have a light before them in whatever part of the house they may choose to go. This is a matter of economy as well as convenience, for it allows of lamps being lit only when and where needed, enabling occupants to use light only in the rooms occupied, while the rest of the house remains in darkness that may be dissipated in an instant at the will of any individual occupant. Lights outside as well as in are equally under control, and the coming or retiring guest may be lighted to the farthest point of the most extensive grounds without the necessity of the host being in any way exposed to the weather. To crown all, these luxurious conveniences are furnished at a price to place them within the reach of persons of but ordinary means. After the plant is once installed there is only the cost of the light actually used. No leaking taps, or defective joints, no smoke or smell, or dirt--those unpleasant features inherent in all other forms of artificial illumination. The various devices once placed are likely to last under ordinary usage as long as the householder will probably live to enjoy them; the only exception to this general statement being the lamp itself which, with the proper current for which it is constructed, is guaranteed to last one thousand hours. As the lighting company replace all lamps burned...
