How did Jack the Ripper help the popularity of Sherlock Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes was introduced in A Study in Scarlet (1887), followed by The Sign of Four in 1890, but didn't really take hold of the public's imagination until Strand magazine, newly founded in 1891, published a series of short stories called "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." From that point on the public couldn't get enough of Holmes and his always reliable confidant, John H. Watson, a retired military doctor. During the 71 days in 1888 that Jack the Ripper killed 5 prostitutes in Whitechapel, the police did not have the detective skills that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about in his Sherlock Holmes stories. This made Sherlock Holmes the hero in those days.
