Synopsis

The life and career of Sherlock Holmes has prompted sustained attention from readers and commentators seeking to look beyond the 60 published adventures and consider the character described by Dr Watson as “the best and the wisest man” he has ever known. This book places itself within that long tradition of Sherlockian scholarship, acknowledging the work of many earlier writers and analysts from a wide range of professions.

Heifetz writes with an explicitly personal purpose, presenting his contribution as an addition to an ongoing, collective effort. Drawing on his background as a microbiologist, he argues for the value of close observation and attention to small details as a useful perspective for Sherlockian studies. Suitable for readers interested in Sherlock Holmes commentary and literary analysis.
