Sinking of the Titanic-Thrilling Stories Told By Survivors
Year: 1912 Language: english Author: Jay Henry Mowbray Genre: Handbook Publisher: The Minter Company Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 336 Description: How fast could you write a 300 page book? Sensationalist journalist Jay Henry Mowbray turned out this edition of The Sinking of the Titanic (complete with illustrations and ready for sale) by May 11, 1912, less than a month after the ship struck that infamous iceberg. Speed puts this book into a curious genre—the “instant book.” The instant book narrates a contemporaneous event through a collage of sources, like government hearings or embellished descriptions, coalesced by journalists, then sold door-to-door as soon as possible. But why the need for speed? Like today, the American public had a voracious desire for every detail of their national tragedies. But they didn’t have the access to information, especially in depth, as we do in today’s internet age. Instant books like The Sinking of the Titanic sated that desire, but they had to be distributed quickly, before popular interest in the subject faded.
