The five
The lives of Mary Ann ‘Polly’ Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly may well have passed unnoticed into the faceless history of Victorian London were it not for how they died in the autumn of 1888. Now known as the ‘canonical five’, Polly, Annie, Liz, Catherine, and Mary Jane are the infamous victims of the serial killer, Jack the Ripper
French Novels and the Victorians, by Juliette Atkinson
The ‘French novel’: ‘naughty’, ‘dirty’, ‘coarse’, ‘immoral’, ‘with a courtesan for the heroine’ (p. 181). Early-nineteenth-century responses to the ‘modern’ fiction produced by French writers including Balzac, George Sand, Alexandre Dumas (fils), Eugène Sue, Paul de Kock and Paul Féval, could display the sort of moral censure with which the ‘Victorian’ has been all too readily associated. Juliette Atkinson’s history of the reception of French nov…
Women, Service and Self-actualization in Inter-War Britain
biographical essay on Florence Nightingale in Eminent Victorians (1918) is perhaps the most infamous critique of Victorian notions of women's service. Decrying the 'popular conception of . . . the saintly, self-sacrificing woman, the delicate maiden of high degree who threw aside the pleasures of a life of ease to succour the afflicted', Strachey described instead a woman, who, from girlhood in a 'well-to-do' family, 'would think of nothing but h…

This article examines the intersections between philanthropy and mass culture at the inter-war BBC through an analysis of the Week's Good Cause charity appeals. Building on Dan LeMahieu's work on the media in the inter-war period, it explores how this new mode of cultural interventionism was used to disseminate and re-articulate older messages about charity and the new duties of citizens. The Good Cause appeals mapped an expansive notion of posit…
Preaching Religion, Family and Memory in Nineteenth‐Century England
This article explores the religious selfhood of an exemplary Bible Christian woman, Mary Thorne (1807–1883). Founded in 1815 as a splinter group of Wesleyan Methodism, the Bible Christian denomination invoked an epistemology which stressed the correlation between religious and familial obligations. A close study of Mary Thorne's private writings suggests the tensions which existed within this ideal at the level of everyday life. Her writings open…
