Arnold, A.J. and McCartney, S.: GEORGE HUDSON. The Rise and Fall of the Railway King: A Study in Victorian Entrepreneurship.
London, Hambledon and London, (2004). Cloth, fine in d/w, illust., pp. xii, 317. ISBN 1 85285 401 4. Hudson acquired huge wealth by establishing York as the hub of an ever-growing network of railway lines, but suffered the greatest business scandal of the Victorian age following a challenge at a shareholders' meeting in 1849. Disgraced, he fled to the Continent, his name synonymous with fraudulent capitalism at its most brazen.
