  • The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes
    2009
    Co-Authors: Arthur Conan Doyle
    Abstract:

    In The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes we read the last twelve stories Conan Doyle was to write about Holmes and Watson. They reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920s in which they were written, and he can be seen to take advantage of new, more open conventions in fiction. Suicide as a murder weapon and homosexual incest are some of the psychological tragedies whose consequences are unravelled by the mind of Holmes before the eyes of Watson. That said, the collection also includes some of the best turns of wit in the series, and indeed in the whole of English literature. The editor of this volume, W.W. Robson, is Emeritus David Masson, Professor of English Literature at the University of Edinburgh and the author of Modern English Literature. The general editor of the Oxford Sherlock Holmes, Owen Dudley Edwards, is Reader in History at the University of Edinburgh and author of The Quest for Sherlock Holmes. A Biographical Study of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

  • The Scientific Sherlock Holmes
    2013
    Co-Authors: James O'brien
    Abstract:

    One of the most popular and widely known characters in all of fiction, Sherlock Holmes has an enduring appeal based largely on his uncanny ability to make the most remarkable deductions from the most mundane facts. The very first words that Sherlock Holmes ever says to Dr. Watson are, "How are you? You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." Watson responds, "How on earth did you know that?" And so a crime-solving legend is born. In The Scientific Sherlock Holmes, James O'Brien provides an in-depth look at Holmes's use of science in his investigations. Indeed, one reason for Holmes's appeal is his frequent use of the scientific method and the vast scientific knowledge which he drew upon to solve mysteries. For instance, in heart of the book, the author reveals that Holmes was a pioneer of forensic science, making use of fingerprinting well before Scotland Yard itself had adopted the method. One of the more appealing aspects of the book is how the author includes real-world background on topics such as handwriting analysis, describing how it was used to capture the New York Zodiac killer and to clinch the case against the Lindbergh baby kidnapper. Sherlock Holmes was knowledgeable about several sciences, most notably chemistry. Therefore the book takes a close look at Holmes the chemist and discusses, for example, chemical poisons such as carbon monoxide, chloroform, and Prussic acid (the historical name for hydrogen cyanide). The author also debunks Isaac Asimov's famous assertion that Holmes was a blundering chemist. In addition, the book discusses mathematics, physics, biology, astronomy, meteorology, and geology, always in the context of Holmes's exploits. Sherlock Holmes continues to fascinate millions of readers and movie goers alike. The Scientific Sherlock Holmes is a must-read for the legion of fans of this most beloved of all fictional detectives.

  • The Scientific Sherlock Holmes - How Sherlock Holmes Got His Start
    The Scientific Sherlock Holmes, 2013
    Co-Authors: James O'brien
    Abstract:

    One can achieve somewhat of an understanding of how Sherlock Holmes came to exist by looking at the contributions of three people: Conan Doyle himself, Edgar Allan Poe, and Conan Doyle’s mentor in medical school, Dr. Joseph Bell. First we shall look at Conan Doyle, focusing on those aspects of his life that led to his writing of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was English and his mother, Mary Foley, was Irish. His father had a drinking problem and was consequently less a factor in Conan Doyle’s upbringing than was his mother. Charles would eventually end up in a lunatic asylum (Stashower 1999, 24). Mary Doyle instilled in her son a love of reading (Symons 1979, 37; Miller 2008, 25) that would later lead him to conceive of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle’s extensive reading had a great influence on the Sherlock Holmes stories (Edwards 1993). He was raised a Catholic and attended Jesuit schools at Hodder (1868–1870) and Stonyhurst (1870–1875), which he found to be quite harsh. Compassion and warmth were less favored than “the threat of corporal punishment and ritual humiliation” (Coren 1995, 15). Next he spent a year at Stella Matutina, a Jesuit college in Feldkirch, Austria (Miller 2008, 40). As Conan Doyle’s alcoholic father had little income, wealthy uncles paid for this education. By the end of his Catholic schooling, he is said to have rejected Christianity (Stashower 1999, 49). At the less strict Feldkirch school, his drift away from religion turned toward reason and science (Booth 1997, 60). At this time he also read the writings of Edgar Allan Poe, including his detective stories. So, although Sherlockians debate the “birthplace” of Holmes, a claim can be made that Holmes was conceived in Austria. In 1876, Conan Doyle began his medical studies at the highly respected University of Edinburgh. These years also played a large role in shaping the Holmes stories. One obvious factor was his continued exposure to science.

  • Arthur Conan Doyle, Joseph Bell, and Sherlock Holmes. A neurologic connection.
    Archives of neurology, 1991
    Co-Authors: Barbara F. Westmoreland, Jack D. Key
    Abstract:

    • Neurologists, like physicians in several other medical specialties, can lay claim to Sherlock Holmes as one of their own. This assertion is validated by the number of neurologic conditions, such as seizures, stroke, syncope, encephalopathies, and head trauma, that are mentioned in the stories and novels. In addition, the article reviews the powers of observation and the deductive approach utilized by Conan Doyle and Joseph Bell, the models for Sherlock Holmes, and how these skills can be applied to medical problems.
