Stead. He was the father of investigative journalism as we know it today, what got him sent to prison when he unveiled the child prostitution market in London. In addition to his combative attitude behind The Pall Mall Gazette's presses, he was an active defender of spiritism and ended his days on the deck of RMS Titanic fattening his legend.Selected Arcadia is a collection based on two ideas:The first is that we think the best approach to any author and his work is a chronological collage of historical primary sources without any comments, introductions or interpretation by the editor.The second one is to divulge and praise the hidden life and work of those authors that have somehow been erased from history and academia or have been diminished to the undeserved place of a footnote.
