Casebook Message Boards: Ripper Media: Specific Titles: Non-Fiction: DOCTOR FORBES WINSLOW Defender of the Insane
Author: Grey Hunter Tuesday, 03 October 2000 - 08:37 am | |
Now available from Cappella Archive is Molly-Whittington Egan's new book: DOCTOR FORBES WINSLOW Defender of the Insane, ISBN 1-902918-06-1 @ £26. Dr Lyttleton Stewart Forbes Winslow is the arch-alienist of the Jack the Ripper story, and the earliest example of a Ripper theorist, profiler and enthusiast. This book forms his detailed and fascinating biography with heavy reference to his Ripper connections (two whole chapters and more) as well as looking at the two important suspects Wentworth Bell Smith and William Grant Grainger. Painstakingly researched and relating his life and times it provides a unique insight into a neglected area of Ripper research. This beautifully produced hardback book (illustrated boards and endpapers) in attractive dust-jacket will be printed to order only, and is thus guaranteed to be a desirable collectable that can only increase in value. Well-illustrated, it is a must for all serious students of the Whitechapel murders. Highly recommended. The author, upon request with order, will be pleased to sign your copy.
