This volume contains four classic spiritualist works, three by W.
T. Stead and one by his daughter, Estelle. William T. Stead
(1849-1912) was a well-known British investigative journalist who
became interested in Spiritualism in the 1890s. In 1892, through
the gift of automatic writing, he began receiving spirit
communications from the recently deceased American temperance
reformer and newspaperwoman Julia T. Ames, describing conditions in
the next world. He published her messages in Borderland, the
spiritualist quarterly he founded in 1893, and later in book form
under the title After Death, or Letters From Julia. In 1909,
following Julia's suggestions from beyond, Stead established
Julia's Bureau in London, where inquirers could obtain information
about the spirit world from a group of resident mediums. During
this time he wrote his personal account, How I Know that the Dead
Return. On April 10, 1912, Stead boarded the S.S. Titanic bound
from Southampton to New York, to take part in a peace congress at
Carnegie Hall. On the morning of April 15 the ship struck an
iceberg and Stead, along with hundreds of others, drowned. At that
time his daughter, Estelle, an actress and also a spiritualist, was
on tour with her own Shakespearean company. Amongst its members was
a psychically gifted man named Pardoe Woodman, who foretold the
disaster as they sat talking after tea. Through Woodman's
clairvoyant powers W. T. Stead was able to communicate the messages
contained in The Blue Island, "experiences of a new arrival beyond
the veil." Estelle Stead carried on her father's work after his
death. In When We Speak with the Dead she explained the
possibilities and limitations of communication as viewed from her
own experience, which included messages from her father "across the
border."
