Not Your Grandfather's Sherlock Holmes
d “nOt YOuR GRandFatHeR’S SHeRlOCk HOlMeS”: Guy Ritchie’s 21st Century Reboot of a 19th Century british Icon Ashley Liening Sherlock Holmes “has enjoyed the most vigorous afterlife of any fictional character” posits thomas leitch, adaptation scholar and author of Film Adaptation and Its Discontents (leitch 207). Indeed, a franchise has been built around Sir arthur Conan doyle’s quirky detective, so much so that Sherlock Holmes has become one of the most adapted literary figures of all time, outnumbered only by Frankenstein’s monster, tarzan, and dracula (207). Clare Parody asserts, “Franchise practice has produced and surrounded some of the highest grossing and best-known fictional texts, characters, plots, and worlds of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries,” and Sherlock Holmes is no exception (211). From 1900 till the present day, Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by “nearly 100 actors, in over 200 films, from more than a dozen different countries,” and it does not appear like “Sir arthur Conan doyle’s violin- playing, pipe-smoking, cocaine-injecting sleuth” is going any- where anytime soon (Cook 31). In fact, the twenty-first century has experienced a resurgence in more “straightforward” Holmes adaptations, namely bbC’s Sherlock (2010), which aired in three ninety-minute episodes and portrays a tech-savvy twenty-first century Holmes, and Guy Ritchie’s 2009 and 2011 35 big screen adaptations, the latter of which will be the focus of this essay. I aim to explore the ways in which Guy Ritchie’s Sher lock Holmes (2009) adaptation, while inextricably bound to Conan doyle’s storytelling franchise, diverges from its prede- cessors in that it is not an amalgamation of other Holmes adap- tations.

“WHAT ONE MAN CAN INVENT, ANOTHER CAN DISCOVER” MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES FROM LITERARY GENTLEMAN DETECTIVE TO ON-SCREEN ROMANTIC GENIUS By Emily Michelle Baumgart A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Musicology – Master of Arts 2015 ABSTRACT “WHAT ONE MAN CAN INVENT, ANOTHER CAN DISCOVER” MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES FROM LITERARY GENTLEMAN DETECTIVE TO ON-SCREEN ROMANTIC GENIUS By Emily Michelle Baumgart Arguably one of the most famous literary characters of all time, Sherlock Holmes has appeared in numerous forms of media since his inception in 1887. With the recent growth of on-screen adaptations in both film and serial television forms, there is much new material to be analyzed and discussed. However, recent adaptations have begun exploring new reimaginings of Holmes, discarding his beginnings as the Victorian Gentleman Detective to create a much more flawed and multi-faceted character. Using Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original work as a reference point, this study explores how recent adaptors use both Holmes’s diegetic violin performance and extra-diegetic music. Not only does music in these screen adaptations take the role of narrative agent, it moreover serves to place the character of Holmes into the Romantic Genius archetype. Copyright by EMILY MICHELLE BAUMGART 2015 .ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am incredibly grateful to my advisor Dr. Kevin Bartig for his expertise, guidance, patience and good humor while helping me complete this document. Thank you also to my committee members Dr. Joanna Bosse and Dr. Michael Largey for their new perspectives and ideas.
