- Title
'Julia Says': The Spirit-Writing and Editorial Mediumship of W. T. Stead.
- Authors
Crofton, Sarah
- Abstract
The author investigates the spirit-writing of William Thomas Stead, an English newspaper editor who is a pioneer of investigative journalism during the Victorian era. She notes that Stead converted his old offices into a public office for communication between the living and the dead. The said public office, she asserts, represents Stead's belief that the future of spiritualism lay in the establishment of a formal infrastructure for maintaining correspondence across the barrier of death.
