John Thadeus Delane (1817–1879) was the editor of The Times (London) for thirty-six years, beginning in 1841. Cook’s biography of this influential editor focuses not only on the history of the era in which Delane lived, but more specifically Delane’s career at the paper, examining his methods, his concept of journalism, his love of London’s social world, and measuring his influence on his profession.
