Reviews
Brown's religious biography is a welcome and vital addition to our study of one of the nineteenth century's most intriguing and paradoxical figures. * Helena Goodwyn, Journal of Victorian Culture * Brown has done a real service by fleshing out Stead's larger accomplishments as a 'newspaper editor, author, social reformer, women's tights advocate, and spiritualist,' all of which made him 'one of the best-known public figures in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain'. * Brian C. Wilson, Western Michigan University, Religion *
Stewart J. Brown's W. T. Stead: Nonconformist and Newspaper Prophet is a concise, yet comprehensive biography of its subject that makes excellent use of a rich vein of primary materials. As such, it is an excellent addition to the Oxford 'Spiritual Lives' series that seeks to document the religious impact of prominent figures whose vocations lay outside religious institutions. ...W. T. Stead will appeal most to historians of journalism, British and American Christianity, especially the Social Gospel, and the English occult milieu of the fin de siecle. * Brian C. Wilson, Religion *
