Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In the eighty-six years since the Titanic sank, countless sermons and editorials, poems, songs and ads, socialists and chauvinists, Christians, reformers, anarchists, and pitchmen have drawn on the power of the century's worst disaster to move their audience. Now Steven Biel, author of the acclaimed Down with the Old Canoe, has gathered some of the most telling of our culture's responses to this unparalleled tragedy, creating an invaluable sourcebook for anyone who wants to discover firsthand what people made of it, both then and now. Biel is today's best-known authority on the place of the Titanic in American culture, and this book's unique appeal--inviting both the generally curious reader to browse its pages, and rewarding Titanic buffs with many authentic gems--makes it a standout in the Titanic literature.

If you've read Steven Biel's Down With The Old Canoe: A Cultural History of the Titanic Disaster, then you will be prepared for Titanica. It expounds on the articles and references in the previous book, including everything from a early articles from Mother Jones, to a version of the Shine taost, to commentary about the disaster from Joseph Conrad, George Bernard Shaw and Arthus Conan Doyle. The only missing items would be a lack of a more complete table of contents, and an index.
