Summary:
"A decade-long examination of the most provocative murder investigation in British history, revealing the identity of Jack the Ripper. Bruce Robinson offers a radical reinterpretation of Jack the Ripper, contending that he was not the madman of common legend, but the vile manifestation of the Victorian Age's moral bankruptcy. Robison goes beyond the who that has obsessed countless others and focuses on the why. He asserts that any gentlemen that walked above the fetid gutters of London, the nineteenth century's most depraved city, often harbored proclivities both violent and taboo -- yearnings that went entirely unpunished, especially if he also bore royal connections. The story of Jack the Ripper hinges on accounts that were printed and distributed throughout history by the same murderous miscreants who frequented the East End of her Majesty's London, wiping the fetid muck from their boots when they once again reached the marble floors of society's finest homes. Supported by primary sources and illustrated with black and white photographs, this is a breathtaking work of cultural history. Bruce Robinson is an English director, screenwriter, novelist and actor. He wrote and directed the cult classic Withnail and I"--Provided by publisher.
