Russell employs a narrative style rich in both empirical research and personal insight, intertwining the drama of human endeavor with the groundbreaking science of the era, effectively contextualizing the telegraph within the broader tapestry of Victorian industrial progress. William Howard Sir Russell, a prominent British journalist and chronicler of his time, was well-versed in the technological and societal shifts occurring during the 19th century.
