Bemerkung:
Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Dr. Bruno Fritzsche (Eignerzeichen auf Schmutztitelbl.). Text engl. «From tabloid exposes of child prostitution to the grisly tales of Jack the Ripper, narratives of sexual danger pulsated through Victorian London. Expertly blending social history and cultural criticism, Judith Walkowitz shows how these narratives reveal the complex dramas of power, politics, and sexuality that were being played out in late nineteenth-century Britain, and how they influenced the language of politics, journalism, and fiction.»
