With its peculiar mixture of propriety and prurience, Victorian England doted on real-life stories as fantastic as anything in the writings of Dickens or Conan Doyle. Jack the Ripper: the surgical knife beneath the opera cape. John Merrick: the heart of gold in the body of the world's ugliest man. For Merrick was no imbecile. He was an intelligent young man with the romantic sensibility of a Victorian swain. London society courted the Elephant Man; great ladies gave him their photographs; Alexandra, Princess of Wales, paid him many visits...
