At the time of Jack The Ripper, known as the Victorian age, the world was gearing up for the industrial revolution. Machines were replacing people, the automobile would soon replace horses and there was the hope that prosperity was just around the corner. This was the environment that the Ripper hunted in.

ADDED: He wasn't!

The Industrial Revolution was pretty well over before the murderer was born. Victorian Britain was a time and place of continuing, rapid progress in science and engineering; and these followed the Revolution itself.

Otherwise he had no link to it at all: he was simply a murderer. To this day though, his identity is unknown, with various theories put forward but non provable.

Who was 'Jack the Ripper'?

Jack the Ripper is a pseudonym given to an unidentified serial killer (or killers) active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area and adjacent districts of London, England in the latter half of 1888. The name is taken from a letter to the Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer, published at the time of the killings. There have been some theories that "Jack" may have actually been a "Jill", but the evidence is inconclusive. Although several suspects were investigated by the police at the time, no solid evidence on anybody was ever collected - ideas abound now about over a hundred suspects, many linked by the tiniest shred of circumstantial proof. Nobody was prosecuted and the murders remain unsolved today.
