"The facts in this case are so bizarre that no novelist would have dared to invent them," said the Philadelphia Inquirer. Indeed. A century before Jack the Ripper haunted the streets of London, another predator held sway: a "vulgar-looking man" who slashed at female pedestrians with a knife while uttering profanities with a "tremulous eagerness"—over fifty victims during a two-year crime spree. The city was gripped with fear, outrage, and "Monster mania." The latter was abetted by a £100 reward and by the circulation of bawdy prints that capitalized on the Monster's tendency to slash his victims' buttocks. Armed vigilantes roamed the streets, and fashionable ladies dared not walk outdoors without first strategically placing cooking pots under their dresses. Finally, in June 1790, one Rhynwick Williams was arrested. After two long and ludicrous trials (at one of which he was defended energetically by the eccentric Irish poet Theophilus Swift), Williams was convicted. Was he guilty? Or just unlucky enough to fall into the hands of authorities when they needed someone to pay? Drawing on contemporary evidence and reinterpreting Monster mania in the light of historical and modern instances of mass hysteria, Jan Bondeson recounts with dry wit a tale that occupies a unique place in criminal history and imagination., Paperback, Ausgabe: Reprint, Label: Da Capo Press, Da Capo Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2002-06, Studio: Da Capo Press, Verkaufsrang: 2084629.

Between 1788 and 1790 - foreshadowing Jack the Ripper by a full century, London's women were terrorized by a series of street assaults, perpetrated by a mysterious person whom the press quickly dubbed "The Monster". His modus operandi was to sidle up to a woman, address her with "indecent" language and then with a sharp instrument, slit her clothing and her person, invariably her buttocks. Soon the fear of attack became such, that fashionable women did not dare walk outdoors without wearing copper petticoats to protect them from attack. By 1790 Londoners had begun to despair about the ability of the regular police - the Bow Street runners - to catch this elusive monster. At this point, John Julius Angerstein, a wealthy Lloyds insurance broker, set a reward of =50 for anyone who apprehended the "Inhuman Monster". The combination of the then princely reward and the intense fear the monster aroused, led to great numbers of false accusations and vigilante attacks - merely calling or pointing out some person as The Monster was sufficient to endanger his life. In June 1790 when the total number of victims exceeded 50, a young Welshman named Rhynwick Williams, was arrested after one of the wounded women had pointed him out to a vigilante. Although he appeared an unlikely Monster, and had a strong alibi for one of the worst outrages, he was nevertheless convicted after two ludicrous trials. This remarkable case has been exhaustively researched by the author who has used a wealth of sources to retell the story of the London Monster and his strange crimes in vivid detail, and in so doing, re-assessing the evidence for the guilt of Rhynwick Williams. The book presents a picture of London life in 1790, and utilizes modern research on mass hysterias and moral panics to reintpertet the Monster-mania, comparing it with modern instances of similar phenomena.
