Description: When William T. Stead died on the Titanic in 1912, he was the most famous Englishman on board. A political radical and Christian, he was also a spiritualist who took dictation of the dead. This book of essays, marking the centenary of his death, seeks to recover the story of an extraordinary figure in late Victorian and Edwardian culture.
