  • 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.

Early Career In 1866, Thomas Barnardo left Ireland to move to London where he planned to study at London Hospital to become a doctor. However, when he arrived in London, he was so appalled by the amount of children that he saw living in terrible conditions that he desperately wanted to help. A deadly disease, cholera, was spreading through the East End of the city due to a lack of clean water and basic hygiene. This fatal disease meant that many children from underprivileged families became orphans; this caused many of them to become homeless and end up living on the streets.

  • 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.

The Pinchin Street Torso - Pinchin Street 11. Frances Coles – Swallow Gardens The Whitechapel Murders Of the eleven Whitechapel Murders, it is widely believed that Jack the Ripper is directly responsible for five of them. It is possible that the Ripper may have claimed more than five victims, but most experts agree that at least five of the East End murders were the work of Jack the Ripper. Emma Elizabeth Smith The first victim in the series of Whitechapel Murders was a prostitute by the name of Emma Elizabeth Smith. She was attacked and raped on Osbourn Street in Whitechapel on 3 April 1888. During the sexual assault, her attackers inserted a blunt object into her vagina, an injury which would take her life the following day. Before she died the next day at a London hospital, Smith told authorities that two or three men, one of them a teenager, were responsible for her attack. The press had linked Smith’s murder to the subsequent Whitechapel Murders, but most experts later believed that particular murder to be the result of random gang violence. Martha Tabram The next victim in the series of Whitechapel Murders was Martha Tabram, a prostitute in the East End.

The work of the church has never been seen as just concerning itself with spiritual wellbeing but with the growth of the whole person, in particular through a rounded education of high standards. Both parishes of St. Paul and St. Luke built a church school early on, soon after the churches were built. St. Paul’s School: The commemorative booklet published in 1908 to mark the 50th Anniversary of the consecration of the first St. Paul’s, Bow Common recorded the origins of the church school. Churches took their schools very seriously and church schools are still seen as desirable places within which to place ones children and parents still make great efforts to find a place for their children in a church school. When I arrived at Bow Common it then had the smallest church electoral roll in the diocese. Growth came, however, through parents attending church for their children to qualify for admission to our church school and for the ‘church letter’ to be signed by the Vicar! However, many of these parents stayed and grew in commitment and became the new core for the church alongside those who had been there from the beginning.
