Delbourgo traces electricity through early American culture, exploring the relationships amongst human, natural, and divine powers in the 18th century. By examining natural philosophers, showmen, preachers, and medical therapists, he shows how electrical experiences were connected to cultural concerns that defined the American Enlightenment.
