Networks of Modernity: Germany in the Age of the Telegraph, 1830-1880 investigates the origins and impact of the communications revolution in nineteenth-century Germany, focusing on one of the most transformative technologies of the period-the electric telegraph. It explores the interactions between scientists, businessmen and bureaucrats who exchanged information across Europe and beyond during the 1830s and 1840s, collaborating, and sometimes clashing as they negotiated their different interests in the technology. It goes on to explore the revolutionary impact of the telegraph on German society, politics and culture.
