JACK THE RIPPER A Journal of the Whitechapel Murders 1888-1889 (A Treasury of Victorian Murder)

Hardback. In this volume of his 'Treasury of Victorian Murder', the author explores the ghastliest and most famous murders of Victorian England. Geary has researched the subject extensively and presents, with his own inimitable tongue-in-cheek style, the Jack The Ripper mystery as told through a journal of a fascinated Englishman of the day. Both factual and darkly funny, Geary shines an ironic light on the repressive society that spawned such a monster and its hypocritical reaction to it. Illus. throughout + Bibliog. 64pp. 8vo. h/back. in dw. As New.
