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.
