JACK THE RIPPER IN FILM AND CULTURE - CLARE SMI...

In 1888 the name Jack the Ripper entered public consciousness with the brutal murders of women
in the East End of London. The murderer was never caught  yet film and television depicts a
killer with a recognisable costume  motive and persona. This book examines the origins of the
screen presentation of the four key elements associated with the murders - Jack the Ripper  the
victims  the detective and Whitechapel. Nineteenth-century history  art and literature 
psychoanalytical theories of Freud and Jung and feminist film theory are all used to
deconstruct the representation of Jack the Ripper on screen.
