This book is an in-depth study of the influence of evangelical Nonconformity on the evolving journalism of W. T. Stead, one of the leading British newspaper editors of the late-nineteenth century. While Stead’s Christian beliefs have been examined alongside and complementary to his journalism, no long study has yet interrogated the way in which Protestant Dissent helped to shape the development of his press practice. This study explores the stimulating interconnections in Stead’s ‘New Journalism’ between late-nineteenth century evangelicalism, radical politics, and social reform, and the modes and formats of his writing.
