  • Jack the Ripper: the Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society
    Jack the Ripper: The Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society Michael Plater Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 July 2018 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines late nineteenth-century public and media representations of the infamous “Jack the Ripper” murders of 1888. Focusing on two of the most popular theories of the day – Jack as exotic “alien” foreigner and Jack as divided British “gentleman” – it contends that these representations drew upon a series of emergent social and cultural anxieties in relation to notions of the “self” and the “other.” Examining the widespread contention that “no Englishman” could have committed the crimes, it explores late-Victorian conceptions of Englishness and documents the way in which the Ripper crimes represented a threat to these dominant notions of British identity and masculinity. In doing so, it argues that late-Victorian fears of the external, foreign “other” ultimately masked deeper anxieties relating to the hidden, unconscious, instinctual self and the “other within.” Moreover, it reveals how these psychological concerns were connected to emergent social anxieties regarding degeneration, atavism and the “beast in man.” As such, it evaluates the wider psychological and sociological impact of the case, arguing that the crimes revealed the deep sense of fracture, duality and instability that lay beneath the surface of late-Victorian English life, undermining and challenging dominant notions of progress, civilisation and social advancement. Situating the Ripper narrative within a broader framework of late-nineteenth century cultural uncertainty and crisis, it therefore argues that the crimes (and, more specifically, populist perceptions of these crimes) represented a key defining moment in British history, serving to condense and consolidate a whole series of late-Victorian fears in relation to selfhood and identity.

  • Suspects Information Booklet
    Metropolitan Police Cold Case Files Case: Jack the Ripper Date of original investigation: August- December 1888 Officer in charge of investigation: Charles Warren, Head of metropolitan police After a detailed and long investigation, the case of the Jack the Ripper murders still has not been solved. After interviewing several witnesses we had a vague idea of what Jack looked like. However, there were many conflicting witness reports on what Jack looked like so we could not be certain. Nevertheless, we had a list of suspects from the witness reports and other evidence left at the scene. Unfortunately, there was not enough evidence to convict any of the suspects. Hopefully, in the future someone can solve these horrendous crimes if more information comes to light. Therefore, the investigation team and I leave behind the information we have on the suspects so that one day he can be found. Charles Warren, Head of the Metropolitan Police Above: The Investigation team Left: Charles Warren, Head of the Metropolitan Police Montague John Druitt Druitt was born in Dorset, England. He the son of a prominent local surgeon. Having received his qualifications from the University of Oxford he became a lawyer in 1885. He was also employed as an assistant schoolmaster at a boarding school in Blackheath, London from 1881 until he was dismissed shortly before his death in 1888. His body was found floating in the river Thames at Chiswick on December 31, 1888. A medical examination suggested that his body was kept at the bottom of the river for several weeks by stones places in their pockets.

In our period it was an inner- city area of poverty – a place where lots of different types of people lived, many of whom were very poor. Some parts were known as ‘rookeries’ – an area filled with lodging houses in which some of London’s poorest people lived in terribly overcrowded conditions. They spent only one or two nights in a place, each day trying to earn enough money to eat and for the 4d it would cost for their next night’s ‘doss’. Other parts of Whitechapel were more respectable and, as you will see, parts of the area changed for the better, or for the worse.

Through a study of original correspondence taken from the Metropolitan Police Letter Books and the Jack the Ripper letters held here at the National Archives, students will investigate why the police were unable to catch the murderer. They will research the different methods employed by the police in their efforts to apprehend Jack the Ripper, as well as those suggested by members of the public, to question whether or not they were to blame for not bringing him (or her!) to justice. The Jack the Ripper letters will also be examined to understand the impact they had on the police investigation of the case, and what they reveal about society’s attitudes to the murders. In addition to this, students will examine original census returns from 1881 to build up a picture of Whitechapel at the time of the murders and consider how this evidence can also help us to understand the difficulties faced by police in their investigations into the case.

  • The Palestine Exploration Fund and the Search for the "City of David"
    The Palestine Exploration Fund and the Search for the "City of David" Shimon Gibson University of North Carolina at Charlotte The Palestine Exploration Fund and the Search for the "City of David" The search for the true location of the biblical "City of David" was at every stage of the development of the Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) one of its stated objectives, from the establishing of the society in 1865 and until the 1960s. The society was founded by the biblical historian and musicologist George Grove with the intention of making an "accurate and systematic investigation of the archaeology, the topography, the geology and physical geography, the manners and customs of the Holy Land, for biblical illustration" (Watson 1915: 17). These lofty aims to make an overall study of the Land of Israel were indeed achieved when an exploration and mapping operation (the "Survey of Western Palestine") was conducted by the PEF in the 1870s, but although work was conducted throughout the country, Jerusalem remained at all times a major target of its antiquarian and scholarly interest. This is well reflected in the enormous quantities of archival materials pertaining to the study of ancient Jerusalem – letters, manuscripts, drawings, maps and photographs – that are presently preserved in the offices of the PEF in London.1 The goal to undertake excavations in Jerusalem was very much a central theme of the founding meeting of the PEF in 1865, and one that clearly resulted from the previous success of the "Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem" of 1864 and 1865 made by Charles Wilson. 46 Fig.

    The complete history of jack the rip Continue Adding new material to his complete jack the Ripper story, crime writer and historian Philip Sugden has painstakingly uncovered a lot of new and still neglected material, including a new Ripper sighting, a possible earlier attack, and a potential American connection. As the Ripper Dan Farson points out: This is indeed the final score, for the chair of the detectives from the White Chapel of Horrors and all the true fans of the crime. A thorough and reasonable profile for readers and future detectives. -Kirkus Reviews Charm is a well-written story about the character of an almost mythical state. -Daily Telegraph (London) This article is about a serial killer.

(1888: 5 canonical) Location (s) Whitechapel and Spitalfields, London, England (5 canonical) Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer, active in mostly poor areas in and around London's Whitechapel area in 1888. Both in the materials of the criminal case, and in modern journalistic accounts, the killer was called Whitechapel's killer and a leather apron. The attacks are attributed to Jack the Ripper, usually involving female prostitutes who lived and worked in the slums of London's East End, whose throat was slit before FGM. The removal of internal organs from at least three victims resulted in their killer having some anatomical or surgical knowledge.
