Talk & Book-signing with Glenn Chandler, author of The Sins of Jack Saul: The True Story of Dublin Jack and the Cleveland Street Scandal.
Join acclaimed author Glenn Chandler for an in-depth talk and book signing event focused on his compelling work, The Sins of Jack Saul: The True Story of Dublin Jack and the Cleveland Street Scandal. Chandler will delve into the life of Jack Saul, a notorious figure in Victorian London, whose involvement in the infamous Cleveland Street scandal exposed a hidden world of politics, sexuality, and power. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, Chandler brings to light the dramatic and often overlooked story of one of history’s most fascinating characters.
Following the talk, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the author and get their copies of the book signed.
This event is part of a broader exhibition titled Jack Saul – A Little-Known Queer History, curated by Francis Fay for the Dublin Festival of History. The exhibition centers on Jack Saul, a queer sex worker born in Summerhill, Dublin, in the late 19th century, who became entangled in two major scandals of his time—the Dublin Castle scandal and the Cleveland Street affair.
The exhibition will trace Saul’s early life in Dublin, with a focus on the social and cultural landscape of the city during his formative years. Planned elements include a short film, a timeline, and a detailed map highlighting the streets he walked, the places he lived, and the locations where he found clients – including the Botanic Gardens, Dublin Castle, and the Green Street Courthouse, where he was tried for theft. The exhibition will also reflect on his final years, his death from tuberculosis at Harold’s Cross hospice, and his burial in Glasnevin Cemetery.
