A few months ago, I came up with the idea of highlighng some of the best, worst, and unheralded performances of our favorite detecve in a monthly column in these pages. Since we are now all honorary members of our own private Diogenes Clubs, and it is not sll 1895, I thought this might be a good me to start by looking at some of the streaming opons available to keep us company. This is by no means exhausve, and there are many more Holmesian offerings out there for rent or purchase through various streaming plaorms. What I have done is tried to narrow it down to a few of the most interesng offerings on many of the standard plaorms you may already subscribe to. You are also encouraged to check out the YouTube playlist I constructed for my “Century of Sherlock Holmes” course, here: hps://www.youtube.com/ playlist?list=PL4gGL‐oH0F9pGhptT8IAghaoOhDxTSBmh.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2014
    Jan 14 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 160th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was James O'Brien, author of THE SCIENTIFIC SHER- LOCK HOLMES: CRACKING THE CASE WITH SCIENCE & FORENSICS (2013); the title of his talk was "Reassessing Holmes the Scientist", and you will be able to read his paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) entertained their audience with a tribute to an aged Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) honoring the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winners (Susan Rice and Mickey Fromkin) received certificates and shared a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's tradi- tional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportuni- ties to browse and buy. The Irregulars and their guests gathered for the BSI annual dinner at the Yale Club, where John Linsenmeyer proposed the preprandial first toast to Marilyn Nathan as The Woman.

  • The Adventure of the Shrinking Public Domain
    ROSENBLATT_FINAL (DO NOT DELETE) 2/12/2015 1:10 PM THE ADVENTURE OF THE SHRINKING PUBLIC DOMAIN ELIZABETH L. ROSENBLATT* Several scholars have explored the boundaries of intellectual property protection for literary characters. Using as a case study the history of intellectual property treatment of Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional character Sherlock Holmes, this Article builds on that scholarship, with special attention to characters that appear in multiple works over time, and to the influences of formal and informal law on the entry of literary characters into the public domain. While copyright protects works of authorship only for a limited time, copyright holders have sought to slow the entry of characters into the public domain, relying on trademark law, risk aversion, uncertainty aversion, legal ambiguity, and other formal and informal mechanisms to control the use of such characters long after copyright protection has arguably expired. This raises questions regarding the true boundaries of the public domain and the effects of non-copyright influences in restricting cultural expression. This Article addresses these questions and suggests an examination and reinterpretation of current copyright and trademark doctrine to protect the public domain from formal and informal encroachment. * Associate Professor and Director, Center for Intellectual Property Law, Whittier Law School. The author is Legal Chair of the Organization for Transformative Works, a lifelong Sherlock Holmes enthusiast, and a pro bono consultant on behalf of Leslie Klinger in litigation discussed in this Article. I would like to thank Leslie Klinger, Jonathan Kirsch, Hayley Hughes, Hon. Andrew Peck, and Albert and Julia Rosenblatt for their contributions to the historical research contained in this Article.

  • “The Curious Case of Miss Amelia Vernet” by Dana Cameron from Pandora’S Orphans: a Fangborn Collection (DCLE Publishing)
    The First Two Pages of “The Curious Case of Miss Amelia Vernet” by Dana Cameron From Pandora’s Orphans: A Fangborn Collection (DCLE Publishing) An Essay by Dana Cameron I had several requirements when I started writing “Miss Amelia Vernet,” and interestingly, that always makes it easier for me, like having to adhere to certain poetic structures. As I had a contract for three short stories set in my Fangborn ’verse, I knew I’d have to feature my vampires, werewolves, and oracles who secretly fight evil to protect humanity. I also knew that this story would have an historical setting; I used short stories about the Fangborn to fill in the history of the Fangborn through time. It was a fun way for me, trained as an archaeologist, to play with history and culture. I settled on late Victorian London (a setting with which I was reasonable comfortable), and I went a step further, setting in the fictional world of Sherlock Holmes, something I’d been exploring in depth at the time. In order to describe life in the rooms of 221B Baker Street to those not familiar with the stories by Arthur Conan-Doyle, I knew I’d need an outsider, someone to help readers learn about Holmes’s adventures. An outsider would also help in describing the Fangborn to those not familiar with my urban fantasy characters. A young person, then, someone who was also Fangborn, learning the ropes about the Family’s secret mission and Holmes’s detective work. It would have been easy to choose a boy—after all, the Baker Street Irregulars all have boys’ names in the Canon—but since the Fangborn have to operate in secret, I thought the added restrictions Victorians placed on young women, especially young “ladies,” would accomplish several things.
