Welcome to the W.T. Stead Resource Site
William Thomas Stead was one of the most controversial men of his age. The most famous passenger aboard the ill-fated Titanic, he had a greater measure of notoriety than most British statesmen. As journalist and editor, he was an important contributor to the birth of today's powerful tabloid journalism, and as a spiritualist and pacifist, his many social and spiritual campaigns had far reaching effects that remain with us today. Yet, posterity barely remembers him, save as an obscure figure in the hinterland of journalistic history.
On this website, you will find a wealth of material covering almost every aspect of Stead's life and career. Much of the material comes from original sources, and includes key texts, such as The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon and the notorious Eliza Armstrong Case that followed. The WTSRS is a work in progress, and is today the largest online repository of material on W.T. Stead. (read more..)
