The Ripper's Victims in Print - The Rhetoric of Portrayals Since 1929

Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Liz Stride, Kate Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly might be contenders for the most written about women in all of history, and yet their names mean little unless connected with that of their killer: Jack the Ripper. This book offers a survey of what has been written about the canonical five victims of Jack the Ripper.
