In this fictionalized retelling of the Jack the Ripper murders, we instead take a look at the effects that brutal crime and the Tessa Eads Francisco Rodriguez Stewie Simons fear that ensues can have on a threatened community.

  • 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.

  • Whitechapel, C.1870-C.1900: Crime, Policing and the Inner City
    Whitechapel, c.1870-c.1900: crime, policing and the inner city. Booth’s Poverty map, 1888, showing the location of the five Ripper murders and of the Eddowes apron / “Juwes” message (Goulston Street). 1 The local context of Whitechapel. Generally: Whitechapel, in the East-End of London, was one of its poorest districts; 30,000 people lived there (176,000 lived in the bigger police Whitechapel H-Division area). Middle classes. Although Whitechapel was marked by poverty, there were businesses and richer inhabitants as well. Usually they lived and traded along the larger roads such as Whitechapel Road and Commercial Road. Pollution and poor sanitation: London suffered from terrible pollution from coal and gas fumes and industries (e.g. the London Smog was a soot-laden fog that severely restricted visibility and caused death from impeded respiration / breathing); Sewerage and sanitation was poor and healthy drinking water unreliable, both causing diseases such as typhus and cholera. Work: Much of the work in Whitechapel was casual or sweated labour: o casual labour – such as in the docks or in construction – meant that workers were employed a day at a time: no job or income security; o sweated labour meant work in cramped, dusty and unhealthy “sweatshops” for low wages in “sweated trades”, e.g. tailoring, dress and shoe making. The Board of Trade was responsible for work conditions / inspections of work premises. Activity: Read the information on page 2 and complete the mind map identifying the key points under the headings below.

  • The Complete History of Jack the Rip
    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. For other purposes, see Jack the Ripper (disambigation). Unknown Serial Killer Jack the Ripper With Vigilance Committee in the East End: Suspicious Character from Illustrated London News, 13 October 1888BornUnknownOther Names Killer WhitechapelKy Apron ApronDetailstimsUnknown (5 Canonical)Date1888-1891 (?) (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.
