George Hudson: The Railway King is a comprehensive biography of George Hudson, a prominent figure in the development of England's railway system during the 19th century. Known as the 'Railway King', Hudson was instrumental in expanding England's railway lines, responsible for over 25% of the early railways, most of which remain operational. The book explores Hudson's rise to prominence during the railway boom of the 1840s and his subsequent fall from grace following unethical business practices and the collapse of the Railway Mania. Author Matthew Wells examines Hudson's life and career against the backdrop of the economic and social conditions of his time, presenting a balanced view by considering Hudson's own explanations alongside the criticisms he faced. The biography aims to offer a nuanced understanding of Hudson's impact on the railway industry and his legacy, appealing to readers interested in industrial history and the complexities of historical figures.
