When Doyle first introduced the world to him in FINA, he may not have realized the force he was unleashing. If you are playing the Great Game, however, you will know that in VALL, Moriarty was already on Holmes’ trail. Moriarty was famously described as the “Napoleon of crime.” This monicker was, of course, first used to describe Adam Worth, a real-life criminal upon whom Doyle is believed to have modelled his character. To today’s readers, Napoleon is an historical figure, far back enough in the past to mesh with the likes of Catherine the Great and Henry VIII. If this were written today, he would have to be the Al Capone or Vladimir Putin of crime. However, to the readers who were the first to meet Moriarty back in 1893, Napoleon was still fresh within memory, having been dead only 72 years. Many readers of The Strand may have had grandfathers who fought against the self- proclaimed Emporer. It is interesting to note that in GREE, Holmes claims to be related to “Vernet, the French artist.” If this were Horace Vernet (1789-1863) the link between Holmes and Napoleon increases, as it was Vernet who painted Napoléon sur son lit de mort (Napoleon on his death bed) in 1826. In this issue, we take an extended look at the professor. The first article, by Bradely E. Shaefer, examines the life, similiarities and connections between this professor and Simon Newcomb, who was born and raised in Nova Scotia, not too far from the home of your humble editors. This article draws surprising similiarities between the careers of the two professors, Thankfully, Newcomb did not turn his amazingly fertile brain to crime. The second look at Moriarty comes in a roundup article by Howard Ostrom. This piece takes a look at the many actors who have played Moriarty in a wide variety of media. From Eric Porter to Andrew Scott, Howard has this murky waterfront covered. Unlike the London underworld of the Victorian past, Moriarty has not taken over this entire issue. Between the covers, you will also find an article taking a medical perspective of the Canon; Peter Calamai reviews a book on the recent increase in fandom around the Holmes stories, and comments on that as well as many of our usual Sherlockian goodies and news from across the country and around the corner — where Moriarty’s minions might just still lurk in the shadows. Canadian Holmes Fall 2014 1 From Mrs. Hudson’s Kitchen This column is by Mrs. Hudson herself and dictated to Wendy Heyman-Marsaw, a Sherlockian living in Halifax. Mrs. Hudson provided this photograph of herself at age 24, taken on the occasion of her betrothal to Mr. Hudson. “If people turn to look at you on the street, you are not well dressed.” – Beau Brummel eorge Bryan ‘Beau’ Brummell established the mode of dress for men that rejected overly ornate fashions for one of understated but perfectly fitted and bespoke (custom tailored) garments. This look was based on dark coats, full-length trousers rather than knee breeches and stockings, and above all, immaculate shirt linen and an elaborately knotted cravat. Brummell is credited with introducing, and establishing as fashion, the modern men’s suit, worn with a necktie. He claimed he took five hours a day to dress, and recommended that boots be polished with champagne. Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson were always impeccably dressed and had all their attire custom-made. The only exception was Mr. Holmes’ unfortunate “mouse coloured” dressing gown. (‘The Bruce Partington Plans’ and ‘The Empty House’) He wore this robe most often between cases as it suited his rather morose mood at those times. Mr. Holmes had two more presentable dressing gowns: blue (‘The Man with a Twisted Lip’), and purple (‘The Blue Carbuncle’). Formal evening dress consisted of a frock coat, plain or narrow pinstripe straight trousers with a dark waistcoat, white bow tie, a shirt with a winged collar, and high top hat (which was also worn in daytime by many gentlemen, including Mr. Holmes). Gentlemen out for an evening’s formal entertainment, for example, attending the opera or symphony, may wear a dark cape with a silk or satin lining. Walking canes were often highly decorative. For Mr. Holmes, an expert practitioner of single-stick fighting, canes were also highly functional (‘The Illustrious Client’). Daytime attire was similar to evening wear, save for a dark tie or a fine Harris Tweed lounge suit. Bowler hats in winter were an option to the tall hat. Knee- length topcoats, often with contrasting trim, velvet or fur collars, or calf-length overcoats were worn in winter. In summer, light-coloured, lightweight trousers and a boater (straw hat with ribbon band) were seen. Men’s city boots and dress 2 Canadian Holmes Fall 2014 pumps generally had built-up heels and a narrow toe. Mr. Holmes’ bootmaker undoubtedly contributed to impressions of Mr. Holmes being of greater height than his six feet. Savile Row, a street in London, was considered the “golden mile” of bespoke tailoring. Nearby Jermyn and Bond Streets were noted for fine haberdashery. Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson frequently sought refreshment when in the area day or night at the convenient and excellent Grand Café Royal on Regent Street. Mr. Holmes was actually accosted outside it by roughs who escaped through the restaurant and out into the street behind it (‘The Illustrious Client’). In 1894 the night porter of the Grand Café Royal was found with two bullets in his head. The case was never solved. Recipes from the Grand Café Royal Menu: Caille en Casserole — Ingredients: 8-12 quail, salt, flour, 1/3 C. butter, 1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, chopped fresh parsley, dry white wine — about 2 C. Mode: Split the birds down the back. Salt and dust lightly in flour. Sauté in skillet until browned on both sides. Remove quail from skillet and place in a casserole with lid. Pour drippings from skillet over birds, add mushrooms and parsley. Pour enough wine into casserole to half-cover the birds. Cover and place in 350 degree oven for 1 hour. (Doves and quarters of pheasant may also be done this way. Allow only 45 minutes in oven for doves and 1 1/4 hours for pheasant.) Carré d’Agneau au Sauce Menthe — Ingredients: Three 8-chop racks of lamb, 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 3 C. fresh white breadcrumbs, 6 Tbs. chopped fresh mint, salt and pepper. Mode: Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard on each side of each lamb rack. Mix breadcrumbs and mint in medium bowl. Press onto lamb, coating completely. Arrange lamb, meat side up, on large baking sheet. Roast lamb 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Roast until lamb registers 130°F for rare, or medium-rare 20 min. longer. Tent with parchment (or foil); let stand 5 minutes. Cut lamb racks between bones into chops. Arrange on plates. Garnish with mint sprigs; pass Sauce Menthe separately. Ingredients Sauce Menthe: 2 C. good quality white wine vinegar, ¾ C. sugar, ½ cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves. Mode: In heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 10 to 12 min. It should be thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and cool five minutes. Add mint leaves. Stir, then pour into a bowl. Cover the bowl, let it sit for about an hour like steeping a cup of tea. Serve at room temperature. Yield: 1 C. Sauce Menthe. Canadian Holmes Fall 2014 3 Sherlock Holmes and some Astronomical Connections By Bradely E. Shaefer, with additional information and photos by Mark Alberstat. Dr. Bradley Shaefer is a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Louisiana State University. In 2007, Bradley was awarded a share Gruber Prize in Cosmology, as part of the Supernova Cosmology Project, for the discovery of Dark Energy. In October 2011, this work was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, with the prize going to the head of the Supernova Cosmology Project. Editor’s note: A version of this article first appeared in The Journal of the British Astronomical Association, vol.103, no.1, 1993. oriarty. The name is used almost as an expletive in the Sherlockian world. However, what do we know about this character and the inspiration for the scientific and not the criminal side of this genius? Could Simon Newcomb, a Nova Scotia-born astronomer have been Doyle’s inspiration for the arch-villain? The facts laid out in this article will outline how the Napoleon of crime may have been from eastern Canada.

  • Discussion About Edwardian/Pulp Era Science Fiction
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Jess Nevins July 2019 Jess Nevins is the author of “the Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana” and other works on Victoriana and pulp fiction. He has also written original fiction. He is employed as a reference librarian at Lone Star College-Tomball. Nevins has annotated several comics, including Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Elseworlds, Kingdom Come and JLA: The Nail. Gary Denton: In America, we had Hugo Gernsback who founded science fiction magazines, who were the equivalents in other countries? The sort of science fiction magazine that Gernsback established, in which the stories were all science fiction and in which no other genres appeared, and which were by different authors, were slow to appear in other countries and really only began in earnest after World War Two ended. (In Great Britain there was briefly Scoops, which only 20 issues published in 1934, and Tales of Wonder, which ran from 1937 to 1942). What you had instead were newspapers, dime novels, pulp magazines, and mainstream magazines which regularly published science fiction mixed in alongside other genres. The idea of a magazine featuring stories by different authors but all of one genre didn’t really begin in Europe until after World War One, and science fiction magazines in those countries lagged far behind mysteries, romances, and Westerns, so that it wasn’t until the late 1940s that purely science fiction magazines began appearing in Europe and Great Britain in earnest. Gary Denton: Although he was mainly known for Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle also created the Professor Challenger stories like The Lost World.

  • 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.

  • Special Issue ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
    Special Issue on ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE FEBRUARY 2015 EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION An Adventure, A Magic Door and The Detective: An Invitation to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Wide-Ranging Œuvre Sarah E. Maier University of New Brunswick “Conan Doyle…. Doyle…. Isn’t that the guy who wrote the series with Benedict Cumberbatch in it?” When one encounters such a response from a group of upper-level English students who have enrolled in my class on “Jack the Ripper & Co: Neo-Victorian Narratives of Crime,” it rather deflates the enthusiasm. Once I convinced them that in fact “the guy” was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who had, in fact, written the “series” of stories about the detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his faithful doctor friend, Doctor Watson, I was able to reach back through history to the nineteenth century and introduce them to the original, marvelous texts.1 I boldly asserted that “the guy” had, in addition, written many, many other narratives in other genres that were absolutely worth reading. But alas, they did not feature Cumberbatch. The purpose of this special issue is to give a nod to the modern adaptations of Conan Doyle’s work, but to investigate via a series of essays his other works that seem too often to get left behind in the race after the cases of Holmes and Watson. Now to the man himself; Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was the eldest son and third of nine children born into the Irish Catholic family of Mary née Foley (1838-1921) and Charles Altamont Doyle (1832-1893) on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • 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.

  • The Return of Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle the Return of Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle
    The Return of Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle The Return of Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle The Adventure Of The Empty House It was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Honourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicable circumstances. The public has already learned those particulars of the crime which came out in the police investigation, but a good deal was suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for the prosecution was so overwhelmingly strong that it was not necessary to bring forward all the facts. Only now, at the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up the whole of that remarkable chain. The crime was of interest in itself, but that interest was as nothing to me compared to the inconceivable sequel, which afforded me the greatest shock and surprise of any event in my adventurous life. Even now, after this long interval, I find myself thrilling as I think of it, and feeling once more that sudden flood of joy, amazement, and incredulity which utterly submerged my mind. Let me say to that public, which has shown some interest in those glimpses which I have occasionally given them of the thoughts and actions of a very remarkable man, that they are not to blame me if I have not shared my knowledge with them, for I should have considered it my first duty to do so, had I not been barred by a positive prohibition from his own lips, which was only withdrawn upon the third of last month.
