The Life and Times of Sherlock Holmes: Essays on Victorian England: Volume Four

Be as smart as Sherlock Holmes!

Arthur Conan Doyle's original tales include many references to everyday Victorian life that are lost from modern society. What Holmes would have eaten from can while searching for the hound of the Baskervilles, or Watson's enjoyment of a yellow-back novel, or the proper use of a gasogene would have been common knowledge to the Victorian contemporary, but has current readers running to their reference books.

These twenty-four short essays pull such items from the past and expand on their significance in the story. As an additional bonus, this book contains an essay on the role of scandal in Holmes' cases, originally appearing in a collected volume of essays on feminism and agency.
