What is Victorian Murders about?
VICTORIAN MURDERSIn a world where mass murders are no longer exceptions to the rule, we look back on the Victorian age with a degree of nostalgia. However, a fact now forgotten is that the London of Holmes and Jack the Ripper was very different from the rest of the country. The rapid growth in industry increased divisions between rich and poor, and the boom in railways—especially in the North—brought with it a lawlessness reminiscent of the American Wild West.All of this is far removed from today, and therefore ‘safe’ for us to enjoy. Through this study of notable killers and their victims, Roy Harley Lewis provides a fascinating insight into Victorian society.
