    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 125 9th November 1992 The (London) Evening Standard of 29th October had an article "Is This the Real Sherlock Holmes?" by Bill West, who identifies Edwin Holmes and his assistant Thomas Watson, pioneers of the electrical security system in the 19th century. I can provide photocopies if you're interested. The BBC Radio 4 series The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes,Holmes, with Clive Merrison and Michael Williams, concluded a couple of weeks ago with a full-blooded "Final Problem", written by Bert Coules. Tape cassettes of the plays were already in the shops, and very good they are too. Vols 1 & 2 each contain four stories, while vol. 3 has three ("The Final Problem" occupies a whole cassette, being split neatly in the middle). Bert tells me that the recording of The Return is well under way. Guest stars include Denis Quilley as Bob Carruthers, Peter Sallis as Jonas Oldacre, Peter Vaughan as Milverton and David March as Lord Bellinger; Michael Pennington and Frederick Treves will be heard again as Moriarty & Moran in "The Empty House". Charles Hall (12 Paisley Terrace, Edinburgh EH8 7JW; phone 031-661 2822) has a new list of SheSherlockrlock Holmes Mementos & Related Items, featuring the various aspects of his own artistic versatility: caricature postcards, in colour and black & white, earthenware busts and mugs, metal figures, and the few remaining copies of his book The Sherlock Holmes Collection --- all very collectable stuff. The latest additions to Charles' range are three low-relief metal sculptures: a double-sided profile of Holmes about 1½" high (£2.60), and full-figure caricatures of Dr Watson and Mrs Hudson about 2" high (each £2.70); the pieces each come mounted on a shallow wooden plinth.

  • The Hinchcliffe/Holmes Era of Doctor Who (1975-77) Matt Hills
    ‘Gothic’ Body Parts in a ‘Postmodern’ Body of Work? The Hinchcliffe/Holmes Era of Doctor Who (1975-77) Matt Hills (1) The names Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes may not be greatly familiar to many academic readers of this volume, unless, that is, they also happen to be fans of the (1963-1989, 1996, 2005-) BBC TV series Doctor Who. Hinchcliffe was the producer of this series on all episodes originally transmitted in the UK between 25/1/1975 and 2/4/77, while Holmes was script editor on all material broadcast between 28/12/74 and 17/12/77. However, he went un-credited in this role on stories where he was named as writer, due to BBC regulations which forbade script editors to commission from themselves (see Howe and Walker, 1998). In story terms, Philip Hinchcliffe produced ‘The Ark in Space’ through to ‘The Talons of Weng-Chiang’, whilst Holmes script-edited stories running from ‘Robot’ through to ‘The Sun Makers’ (1977). Under Hinchcliffe as producer, Holmes also wrote ‘The Ark in Space’, ‘The Deadly Assassin’ and ‘The Talons of Weng-Chiang’, and effectively wrote, or at least heavily reworked, ‘The Pyramids of Mars’ and ‘The Brain of Morbius’ (on-screen, these were attributed to the pseudonyms Stephen Harris and Robin Bland). Today, Philip Hinchcliffe is a regular contributor to DVD commentaries and features accompanying ‘his’ Doctor Who stories. Robert Holmes passed away on 24th May, 1986: his overall contribution to Doctor Who is the subject of a documentary on the DVD release of the (1985) story ‘The Two Doctors’.

  • Retrofuturist Visions of London's Alternative Pasts in Steampunk
    Yesterday’s Tomorrows: Retrofuturist Visions of London’s Alternative Pasts in Steampunk Fiction Helena Esser (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) The Literary London Journal, Volume 11 Number 2 (Autumn 2014) Abstract: Steampunk is a popular, retro-speculative aesthetic which transforms a variety of multi-genre narratives, combining Victorian ideals with a post-modern zeitgeist. This article looks at how London is transformed in works such as Sterling and Gibson’s The Difference Engine (1991), Newman’s Anno Dracula (1992), Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate series (2009-2012), Mann’s The Affinity Bridge (2009) or Blaylock’s The Aylesford Skull (2013) and how a variety of urban ideas and identities are both constructed and challenged in these texts. Indebted to Victorian literary accounts of London, these alternative visions of the metropolis re- assemble familiar settings and explore pathways that transgress the moral or structural standards of Victorian fiction and non-fiction. As a setting that generates and fuels debate, steampunk London provides a context in which socio-economic issues, disenfranchisement or postcolonial legacies can be discussed and explored in a way that goes beyond London Gothic fiction of the present. Keywords: Steampunk, Victorian London, London Gothic, The Difference Engine Our notion of London is comprised of a wide variety of concepts, many of which exist on different levels of time. The London of the past is charged with meaning in the historical imagination. It is influenced by literary depictions inevitably guiding our perceptions of the present, which seems familiar as a material reality. Future incarnations of London, on the other hand, are often presented as alien and bizarre.

  • Spotlight On: Michael Bailey October 2017
    Spotlight on: Michael Bailey October 2017 Biography Michael Bailey is a professional writer from Falmouth, Massachusetts who kind of hates writing bios. Michael has been a working writer since 1998. In 2013, Michael ended his tenure as a reporter at the Falmouth Enterprise to focus on his creative writing. In September 2013, Michael released his debut YA novel Action Figures. Every book in the series has landed on Kindle top ten best- seller lists, and Secret Origins was the number one book on two Amazon best-seller lists (June/July 2016). His first adult novel, The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot, a humorous fantasy adventure, was released in 2015. Over the years Michael has contributed several articles to Renaissance Magazine and other local publications, and has since 2004 worked on the writing staff of two New England-based renaissance faire production companies: Pastimes Entertainment and the Connecticut Renaissance Faire. Follow Michael online at innsmouthlook.com. Find Michael’s work through the Sharon Public Library! Interview 1. Having read over your bio, I’ll bite—why do you say that you “kind of hate” writing bios? I am not by nature self-promotional. I dislike talking about myself because I always feel like I’m somehow bragging, and I hate braggarts. This is admittedly a bad trait for an indie author to have, seeing as a big part of the job is self-promotion, so it’s been a bit of a hump I’ve had to learn to get over. 2. How did you train yourself to get over that sticking point? Practice, professional coaching, reassurance

  • In Kim Newman's Anno Dracula
    “Civilised society doesn’t just happen”: The Animal, the Law and ‘Victorian Values’ in Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula Kathryn Bird (University of Leeds, England, UK) Abstract: Unlike other neo-Victorian texts which revisit the Ripper murders, Kim Newman’s 1992 novel Anno Dracula has been largely overlooked. This article reads Anno Dracula as a response to the politics of law and order in Thatcher’s Britain, with a focus on the expulsion of particular sub-groups considered dangerous to the physical and political health of society. With reference to recent work by Giorgio Agamben and Jacques Derrida on biopolitics and animal life, I argue that through the figure of the animal, Anno Dracula both explores the process of exclusion which underpins Thatcher’s ideal of “civilised society”, and suggests the extent to which the violence of previous techniques for managing the life of a population persists in modern regimes of social discipline. Finally, this article also considers the contemporary significance of the invocation of ‘Victorian values’ at those moments where the boundaries of so-called civilised society are being drawn. Keywords: Giorgio Agamben, animal, Anno Dracula, biopolitics, Jacques Derrida, law, Kim Newman, politics of exclusion, the Ripper, Margaret Thatcher. ***** In a speech given not long after her first general election victory in 1979, Margaret Thatcher described the preceding winter of discontent as a “reversion to barbarism” during which “there can have been few in Britain who did not feel, with mounting alarm, that our society was sick – morally, socially and economically” (Thatcher 1979). In place of the “socialist” principles which she felt had led to this decline, Thatcher asked the electorate to put its faith in “the working of a market economy in a free society” (Thatcher 1979).

  • The Portrayal of Count Dracula in Kostova's the Historian, Dacre
    Bos, 4142519/1 The Portrayal of Count Dracula in Kostova’s The Historian, Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt’s Dracula: The Un-Dead and Newman’s Anno Dracula Kirsty ten Bos Bos, 4142519/2 Abstract Dracula is sinds zijn eerste verschijning in Bram Stoker’s gelijknamige boek uitgegroeid tot een bijna legendarisch personage. De vampierschurk heeft als inspiratie gediend voor verscheidene adaptaties. Deze adaptaties beperken zich niet tot slechts een enkel medium, maar verschijnen in verschillende media. De meest prominente voorbeelden zijn verschenen in de vorm van een film of boek. Hoewel deze scriptie zich focust op drie boekadaptaties van Dracula, wordt ook de connectie met filmadaptaties besproken, vanwege de onmiskenbare invloed van de films op de boeken. De boekadaptaties die onderzocht worden zijn Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian, Dacre Stoker en Ian Holt’s Dracula: The Un-Dead en Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula. Het is noemenswaardig dat de drie boeken er allen voor hebben gekozen om de vampier te portretteren als Vlad Tepes, terwijl Bram Stoker’s Dracula geen kopie van Tepes was. Dit is een van de aspecten waarin de boeken beïnvloed zijn door filmadaptaties. In ieder van de drie boeken wordt Dracula’s uiterlijk onderzocht en daarnaast is er ook aandacht voor facetten die uniek zijn per boek. Om dit goed te kunnen doen is ervoor gekozen om intertekstualiteit als theoretisch kader te gebruiken met daarnaast adaptation studies. Dit laatste is belangrijk, omdat film een grote invloed heeft op de boekadaptaties. Keywords Dracula Bram Stoker Vlad Tepes Adaptations (adaptaties) Intertexuality (intertekstualiteit) Dracula: The Un-Dead Dacre Stoker Ian Holt The Historian Elizabeth Kostova Anno Dracula Newman Film adaptations (filmadaptaties) Bos, 4142519/3 Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1.

  • Imagetext: Interdisciplinary Comics Studies Gothic Oedipus: Subjectivity
    ImageTexT: Interdisciplinary Comics Studies ISSN: 1549-6732 Volume 2, Issue 2 (2006). http://www.engl...fisher/index.shtml print | close Gothic Oedipus: subjectivity and Capitalism in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins By Mark Fisher 1 Batman has contributed more than its fair share to the 'darkness that hangs over contemporary culture like a picturesque pall. 'Dark' designates both a highly marketable aesthetic style and an ethical, or rather anti-ethical, stance, a kind of designer nihilism whose chief theoretical proposition is the denial of the possibility of the Good. Gotham, particularly as re-invented by Frank Miller in the eighties, is, along with Gibson's Sprawl and Ridley Scott's LA, one of the chief geomythic sources of this trend.[1] 2 Miller's legacy for comics has been ambivalent at best. Reflect on the fact that his rise coincides with the almost total failure of superhero comics to produce any new characters with mythic resonance.[2] The 'maturity' for which Miller has been celebrated corresponds with comics' depressive and introspective adolescence, and for him, as for all adolescents, the worst sin is exuberance. Hence his trademark style is deflationary, taciturn: consider all those portentous pages stripped of dialogue in which barely anything happens and contrast them with the crazed effervescence of the typical Marvel page in the 60s. Miller's pages have all the brooding silence of a moody fifteen-year old boy. We are left in no doubt: the silence signifies. 3 Miller traded on a disingenuous male adolescent desire to both have comics and to feel superior to them.
