Many books have been published claiming to identify that most elusive of killers, Jack the Ripper. In this book, we learn more about the victims and in particular, Mary Jane Kelly. The significance of the date of her murder is examined in detail. This book also covers the involvement of Prince Albert Victor, and furnishes evidence that the Whitechapel murders were sanctioned by men or power such as the Commissioner of the Met Police, to protect the British Establishment.

He has researched the Whitechapel murders and studied carefully both the culprit and the victims of the brutal killings for over 20 years.

Caroline Criado-Perez, Guardian Almost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. Her novels don't confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers' enjoyment. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. We just don't read her properly - we haven't been reading her properly for 200 years. Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. In her first, brilliantly original book, Austen expert Helena Kelly introduces the reader to a passionate woman living in an age of revolution; to a writer who used what was regarded as the lightest of literary genres, the novel, to grapple with the weightiest of subjects – feminism, slavery, abuse, the treatment of the poor, the power of the Church, even evolution – at a time, and in a place, when to write about such things directly was seen as akin to treason. Uncovering a radical, spirited and political engaged Austen, Jane Austen, The Secret Radical will encourage you to read Jane, all over again.
