New Issue of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century on W.T. Stead

New Issue of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century

The new issue of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century is now available at http://19.bbk.ac.uk/index.php/19/issue/view/83

When W. T. Stead died on the Titanic he was the most famous Englishman on board. He was one of the inventors of the modern tabloid. His advocacy of ‘government by journalism’ helped launch military campaigns. His exposé of child prostitution raised the age of consent to sixteen, yet his investigative journalism got him thrown in jail. A mass of contradictions and a crucial figure in the history of the British press, Stead was a towering presence in the cultural life of late-Victorian and Edwardian society. This special issue of 19, guest edited by Laurel Brake and James Mussell, celebrates Stead’s life and legacy in all its diversity 101 years on.

There will be a panel session and reception to mark the publication of this issue at the British Library, 14 May 2013, 18:30-20:00. Speakers will be Kate Campbell, Rohan McWilliam, and Tony Nicholson. Attendance is free but attendees must register. Further details here: http://www.bl.uk/whatson/events/event145276.html
