This book establishes the importance of W. T. Stead as a mediating force between British and American culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It demonstrates the political, literary and journalistic importance of Stead’s influence on the development of modern British journalism revealing the significance of his transatlanticism. The book develops ideas about democracy, class, the relationship between genres of writing and changing definitions of ‘culture’, before and after the turn of the century. It addresses questions about globalisation, the production and value of culture, and the importance of journalism in these areas of critical enquiry.
Helena Goodwyn is Assistant Professor of English Literature in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Northumbria University.
