William Thomas Stead (1849-1912) was an English journalist. He was born in Darlington, the son of a Congregational minister. He attended Silcoates School in Wakefield, but was early apprenticed in a merchant's office at Newcastle-on-Tyne. He soon gravitated into journalism, and in 1871 became editor of the Darlington Northern Echo. In 1880 he went to London to be assistant editor of the Pall Mall Gazette under John Morley. The number of his publications gradually became very large, as he wrote with facility and sensational fervour on all sorts of subjects, from The Truth About Russia (1888), to If Christ Came to Chicago! (1894), and from Mrs. Booth (1900) to The Americanization of the World (1902). In 1892, Stead published a story called From the Old World to the New, in which a White Star Line vessel, the Majestic, rescues survivors of another ship that collided with an iceberg. fiction,literature and fiction Literature & Fiction, Dodo Press<
