  • 2015 Jhws Treasure Hunt
    2015 JHWS TREASURE HUNT “Mr. Sherlock Holmes” Category: Holmes’s personality 1. This author, while writing his own stories about a fatherly detective, went so far as to assert that Sherlock Holmes was not a man, but a god. Who? (1 pt.) Answer: G.K. Chesterton, author of the Father Brown mysteries ---See The Sherlock Holmes Collection, The University of Minnesota, USH Volume I, Section VI: The Writings About the Writings, Chesterson, G.K., Sherlock Holmes the God, G.K.’s Weekly (February 21, 1935), at lib.umn.edu, and numerous others. ---Full quote: “Not once is there a glance at the human and hasty way in which the stories were written; not once even an admission that they were written. The real inference is that Sherlock Holmes really existed and that Conan Doyle never existed. If posterity only reads these latter books, it will certainly suppose them to be serious. It will imagine that Sherlock Holmes was a man. But he was not; he was only a god.” 2. Holmes did not, perhaps, have a knowledge of women across the continents, but, according to Watson, Holmes did hold a position across several of them. How many continents and what position? (2 pts.) Answer: Three, position of unofficial adviser and helper to everybody who is absolutely puzzled ---W., p. 191, IDEN: I smiled and shook my head. "I can quite understand you thinking so," I said. "Of course, in your position of unofficial adviser and helper to everybody who is absolutely puzzled, throughout three continents, you are brought in contact with all that is strange and bizarre.

    “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.

  • THE DISTRICT MESSENGER the Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 4L Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE
    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 4l Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 137 17th January 1994 We were privileged a couple of weekends ago to be among the unprecedented British contingent that attended the annual Sherlockian festivities in New York. The new investitures awarded by the Baker Street Irregulars included several to DM readers: Catherine Cooke ("The Book of Life"), Geoffrey Stavert ("The Shingle of Southsea"), Francine Swift ("The Wigmore Street Post Office"), T. Michelle Fromkin ("The Missing Three-Quarter"), Peter Crupe ("The Noble Bachelor") and Thom Utecht ("Arthur Charpentier"). Those are the ones I can remember at the moment; see the next issue of The Baker Street JourJournalnal for a full list. It's available on subscription from P.O. Box 465, Hanover, PA 17331, U.S.A., and it's a must among Holmesian periodicals. Tom Stix (“Wiggins” of the BSI) attended our Society's annual dinner at the Regent Hotel last Saturday and presented one further investiture, to our President, Tony Howlett ("John Hector McFarlane"). This represents a very graceful tribute, since Tom's own investiture (“Wiggins” is his title as head of the BSI) is "The Norwood Builder". (*An account of the dinner will appear in The Sherlock Holmes JournalJournal.*) Tony's, Catherine's and Geoffrey's investitures make the number of living British BSIs up to twelve - a Baker Street Dozen. Geoffrey is already being referred to among his friends as "Shingle". The place in New York to look for Holmesiana is still Otto Penzler's Mysterious Bookshop at 129 West 56th Street, but other sources are the long-established Murder Ink (now under new ownership, we're told) at 2486 Broadway, and the two branches of Foul Play, at 13 8th Avenue and 1456B 2nd Avenue.

  • Review of Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes
    Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes, DVD Box set, 4 discs, London: BBC/BFI, 2015. BFIV2040; £39.99 Reviewed by John Keefe (London Metropolitan University, UK) The Literary London Journal, Volume 12 Number 1–2 (Spring/Autumn 2015) The recent BBC TV Timeshift documentary How To Be Sherlock Holmes—The Many Faces of a Master Detective (2015) traced the history of these faces from Sidney Paget’s original illustrations and William Gillette’s stage adaptation (1899), the first screen version (1900), through the various cinema and television Holmes (including Eille Norwood 1921, Basil Rathbone 1939, Peter Cushing 1959, Jeremy Brett 1985) to the most recent (Robert Downey Jnr 2009, Benedict Cumberbatch 2010). Across these adaptations and characterisations, we see a figure who remains rooted in his Victorian origins, is regarded as both a genesis and a template of what has become the fictional detective, and is a reflection of the social-cultural preoccupations that inform each adaptation. In this last, we see a theme true of all such adaptations and translations, with each mirroring the period of making as well as that of the setting. Thus this release of the surviving thirteen episodes of the Douglas Wilmer-Nigel Stock series from the mid-1960s reverts to the Victorian settings of the original (in contrast to the modernising of Holmes in the Universal Studios series or Sherlock of 2010) but adds a knowing humour taken further by Billy Wilder’s film of 1970. Similarly, the imagery of Holmes familiar to us from the Paget illustrations and now our received idea of Holmes with his pipes, deerstalker hat and caped coat are here but at the same time are played with as mannerisms that seem ‘out-of-joint’ against a background of contemporary pop music, fashions and social satire.
