ACKROYD, PETER. The Trial Of Elizabeth Cree: A Novel Of The Limehouse Murders.
Doubleday and Company, Inc., New York: 1995. 0385477074 / 9780385477079 First U.S. Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition.
In the autumn of 1880, a series of brutal murders shakes the impoverished London neighborhood of Limehouse. As the merchants, immigrants and prostitutes of Limehouse panic, the murders attract the attention of three remarkable men of the times: Karl Marx in his twilight, always under suspicion for being a foreigner, a Jew, and a radical; George Gissing, the struggling author who would go on to write that great indictment of London's pinchpenny publishing world, New Grub Street; and Don Leno, the legendary star of the music hall and the precursor of Charlie Chaplin. As the police investigate, the popular press claims the killings are the work of a "golem" - a savage creature of Jewish folklore. In the winter, a sensational trial captures the public's attention. Elizabeth Cree - "Lambeth Marsh Lizzie" of Leno's troupe - stamds accused of murdering her devoted husband. But, unbeknownst to all, behind the notoriety of the murder and the drama of the trial, the shocking truth behind the Limehouse Golem lies hidden. Peter Ackroyd's fiendishly clever skill at mixing fact and fiction into an addictivetale has never been more powerful,and his depiction of Victorian London is so authentic as to make us think that we too inhabit the gaslit streets of Limehouse.
