In 1888 the Whitechapel area of London was the scene of some of the most brutal murders ever recorded in history - and yet the case of Jack the Ripper remains unsolved. Steering clear of wild conspiracy theories, and spurious attempts to advance new theories about the identity of the culprit, Paul Begg instead provides the facts behind one of the most infamous and grisly episodes of the Victorian era. The book is a social history of Victorian East London as it is about the murders themselves. Begg argues that the case excited such interest precisely because of the notoriety of the East End at the time. Chronological coverage includes detailed accounts of the lives of each of the victims and an examination of the police investigation.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. Ex-lib. England in the 1880s was a society in transition, shedding the skin of Victorianism and heading towards a more modern age. Promiscuity, moral decline, prostitution, unemployment, poverty, police inefficiency.all these things combined to create a sense of uncertainty and fear. The East End of London became the focus for that fear. Here lived the uneducated, poverty-ridden and morally destitute masses. When Jack the Ripper walked onto the streets of the East End he came to represent everything that was wrong with the area and with society as a whole. He was the fear in human form, an unknown lurker in the shadows who could cross boundaries and kill. 'Jack the Ripper: The Definitive History' is not yet another attempt to identify the culprit. Instead, the book examines the facts behind one of the most infamous and grisly episodes of the Victorian era. It looks in depth at events around the time of the Jack the Ripper murders, and how these, in their various ways, conspired to give birth to the most enduring murder mystery in the world: who was Jack the Ripper? Illus., Index. 310pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. Ex-lib. with discreet markings. lacks ffep o/w Nr. Vg. in Vg. protected dw. A fairly heavy book which will require additional postage if shipped overseas.
