Synopsis

Across stage, film and television, successive actors have been hailed as the “definitive” Sherlock Holmes, even as their interpretations differ markedly. With a foreword by Sherlockian Roger Johnson, this volume traces how Holmes and his audience have shifted across three centuries, asking why Victorian readers responded so intensely to Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation and how later eras reshaped the figure for new audiences.

Drawing on extensive contemporaneous accounts and reviews, Volume One examines the process by which Holmes moved beyond detective fiction to become a genre, an industry and a global phenomenon in his own right. Recommended in the source review for beginner to advanced Sherlockians.
