Episode 273: Close to Holmes

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere ·

2023/09/30

“The table was set out ready for me, and Mr. Duncan” [REDH]The wonder and magic of the Sherlock Holmes stories is that they were set, for their contemporary audience, in a city and its surroundings that were very familiar and very real.Alistair Duncan set out to capture that in his book Close to Holmes, taking us on many journeys by foot and other conveyances, with wonderful photographs supported by vivid descriptions. Even though we weren't alive when the stories were written, we can feel as if we

Baker Street Elementary – The Greatest Show of Dearth

“and yet it amounted to nothing” [NORW]Before Sherlock Holmes came along, detective stories, while satisfying, weren't all that revealing. Oh sure, the crimes would be revealed, but the methods were more opaque.In A Study in Scarlet, Holmes showed his disdain for literary detectives:“Now, in my opinion, Dupin was a very inferior fellow. That trick of his of breaking in on his friends’ thoughts with an apropos remark after a quarter of an hour’s silence is really very showy and superficial. He had

2023/09/15

“For three hours we strolled about together” [RESI]As we continue our look at some of the early Baker Street Irregulars associated with The Baker Street Journal (we began with its publisher Ben Abramson in Episode 269), we turn to Christopher Morley.Morley was the right man at the right time with the right attitude, and Steven Rothman, BSI, 2s. ("The Valley of Fear") is the foremost expert on this legend of the BSJ.We look at Morley's early life, his influences, his literary works, and his

“revealed it to the victim” [SPEC]Recall in "The Red-Headed League" how Sherlock Holmes was able to infer a number of facts about Jabez Wilson, leaving the pawnbroker astounded:“Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labour, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else.”Mr. Jabez Wilson started up in his chair, with his forefinger upon the paper, but his eyes upon

“put the papers on the sundial” [FIVE]David Marcum is still at it. When we last left this prolific author and editor, he was 28 volumes into The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories. Now, he is approaching the 40th volume and has edited over 1,000 Sherlock Holmes pastiches.His own stories — now at 113 — can be found in multiple volumes of The Collected Papers of Sherlock Holmes, and he continues to dedicate his time to related characters such as Solar Pons and Nero Wolfe.We spoke with David about

Review: Sherlock Holmes: The Spider's Web

“earnest in the investigation” [RETI]Who would have thought mixing a traditional Sherlock Holmes pastiche with Oscar Wilde's characters would work so well? Philip Purser-Hallard, that's who.I picked upSherlock Holmes: The Spider's Web because I'd read and enjoyed some of Purser-Hallard's writings on Doctor Who. I was pleasantly surprised to find an authentic-feeling novel with quite the deductions.Then a body is found at the Moncrieff house during a ball, and in wanders the cast of The Importance of

Baker Street Elementary – Lessons Learned

2023/08/20

“Excuse the admiration of a connoisseur” [HOUN]One of the unexpected duties (evidently) of the inhabitant of Baskerville Hall was the recitation of his forbears who were represented in portraits in the main hall.When Sherlock Holmes first joins Sir Henry and Dr. Watson, his expression indicates some interest in the artwork:“Watson won’t allow that I know anything of art, but that is mere jealousy, because our views upon the subject differ. Now, these are a really very fine series of portraits.”While

And Olivia Rutigliano is the first on this program to discover the detective in one particular fashion.We won't spoil it (you have to listen to find out), but suffice it to say it was enough to propel her not only into the world of detective fiction but an education and career in writing.

Baker Street Elementary – Get the Lead Out

2023/08/06

“I even took a pencil and jotted them down” [STUD]In Victorian times, pens were writing implements that were largely contained to desk work. The man who was out and about, actively pursuing his profession in the street, on trains, and at various locations other than an office or home would have a difficult time using a quill pen or fountain pen on the go.During Sherlock Holmes's time, it would have been rare to find someone in the field with a pen. Indeed, the first patent for a ball-point pen was

Location Unknown / Photographer Unknown (Source: A Road of Intangible Inclinations)There are some Sherlockians we wish we could have interviewed for this program — individuals long gone but fondly remembered —whose unique perspectives would be a boon to our listeners.

Baker Street Elementary – Partners in Crime

2023/07/23

“they took into partnership” [VALL]As Christopher Morley told us, the Sherlock Holmes stories were a textbook of friendship. But more than that, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson relied on each other as erstwhile business partners.Not partners in the legally binding sense, but certainly a symbiotic relationship of sorts: Holmes gained notoriety through Watson's writings, and Watson gathered story material from Holmes's cases. Partners in crime, as it were.But it got us thinking about more formal
