Road
Published in the early 20th century, 'Road' by Hilaire Belloc examines the evolution of the English highway system. The essay discusses five pivotal moments in road history, from Roman military roads to the turnpike reforms of the 18th and 19th centuries, and highlights the need for significant changes to adapt to modern transportation demands. Belloc approaches the topic with a historical perspective rather than expert qualifications, aiming to provoke thought on the future of road systems in England.
