C11150. Berdan, Marshall S. "Deterrence Personified: Sherlock Holmes's Effect on Crime in the Late Victorian Era," BSJ, 42, No. 1 (March 1992), 8-15. "The downward trend that characterized criminal activity in the late Victorian England corresponded remarkably with the established facts of the career of the world's first and finest consulting detective. ... during the core of Sherlock Holmes's active practice, the total number of reported crimes dropped by almost 25%. Never in the history of modern criminology have so many been so indebted to just one."

A rough statistical survey of the types of criminals that populate the Canon.
C11159. Lachtman, Howard. "The Man Without Enemies," BSJ, 35, No. 2 (June 1985), 74. "Since part of Sherlock's ageless glory are the fiends and felons who color his story, / let's give antagonists their rightful place / of honor beside this Benefactor of the Race / and trade our applause (and all odes that inflate him) / for one villain with the kindness to hate him."
C11160. -- B1586. Merriam, Joseph C., Jr. "A Note Upon the Ages of the Criminals in the Writings: With Some Mutterings About Juvenile Delinquency," The Fourth Cab. Boston: Stoke Moran Publishers, 1976. p. 12-13. Casual perusal of the Sacred Writings and estimation of the ages of the criminals, so far as possible, turns up the rather mature average age of 42 for Holmes's principal adversaries. This finding stimulates certain lighthearted speculations.
C11161. -- A3472. Morrisson, Douglas. "Observations of Criminal Ineptitude in the Canon," SOS, 1, No. 6 (August 1967), 5. The "bungling episode of the nefarious Jefferson Hope" and the "episode of the delayed thumb print of Jonas Oldacre" are cited as examples of the many acts of inept criminal reasoning.
C11162. Mortimore, Roger. "Among the Heads of Their Profession," BSN, 5, No. 3 (Michaelmas Term 1988), 4-7; 6, No. 1 (Hilary Term 1989), 6-7. Tells the remarkable stories of three real-life murderers mentioned by Holmes: Charles Peace (Illu), William Palmer and Edward William Pritchard (Spec).

The most gruesome but unsuccessful murder was the attempt by the Australian villain, "Holy" Peters, to bury Lady Frances Carfax alive.

C11166. -- A3846. Pratt, Fletcher. "Very Little Murder," BSJ, 5, No. 2 (April 1955), 69-76. A careful and definitive analysis of the crimes investigated by Holmes. Includes the following tables: (1) A Legal Summary of the Cases; (2) Disposition of the Cases in Which Action Was Required; and (3) A Case-by-Case Analysis.
C11167. Rosenblatt, Albert M. "The Utopian Sherlock," BSJ, 42, No. 2 (June 1992), 71-72. The author recalls a work by Edward Bellamy, entitled Looking Backward, in which Bellamy imagines someone falling asleep in 1888 and awakening in 2000 to find a world of harmony and bliss. Rosenblatt wonders how that would turn out, and wryly suggests that Sherlock in a world free of crime is almost as jarring as the idea of crime without Sherlock.
C11168. Speck, Gordon R. "A Measure of the Master," CHJ, 14, No. 11 (November 1992), 2-3. The quality of Holmes's work can be measured only against the most accomplished of adversaries. Moriarty, Moran, and Roylott -- all successful in honorable professions before turning to crime -- provide the appropriate measure, and Holmes triumphs.
C11169. Tuan, Yi-Fu. "The Landscapes of Sherlock Holmes," Journal of Geography, 84, No. 2 (March-April 1985), 56-60. ----------. ----------, BSM, No. 45 (Spring 1986), 1-10, inside back cover. Late Victorian attitudes toward society and life are dramatically reflected in the world of Sherlock Holmes. What do we find? A cosmopolitan reality stained by fear -- fear of nature and of the exotic made tolerable only by someone of Holmes's intelligence and energy. Holmes's task is made simpler by another late Victorian belief; namely, that a close relationship exists between environment (landscape) and crime. Horrible crimes almost never occur in a charming village or lovely countryside: they occur, rather, on moors and in houses that are sinister or in some way not quite right.

C11177. Richards, Dana. "Good Grief, Holmes," BSM, No. 59 (Fall 1989), 26-33. The Victorian preoccupation with mourning is explored. It is noted that since the Canon was regarded as escapist literature, there is little of morbidity that is common in Victorian literature. However, there are some striking examples, including Watson's loss of his brother, his wife, and his friend Sherlock Holmes.
C11178. -- A3847. Shaw, John Bennett. "Doctor Watson Didn't Write About Taxes, Either," BSJ, 19, No. 4 (December 1969), 235-239. ----------. ----------, S&CG, No. 1 (1990), 6-12. A highly interesting study of Canonical deaths and burials in which the author, former director of a Tulsa funeral parlour, estimates that of the 263 persons who lose their lives, a mere six are given any kind of service or burial. He attributes such gaps to Watson and the Literary Agent's aversion to death and the disposal of bodies.
C11179. -- B1859. Webster, Donald A. "`Never More Seen in This World,'" BSJ, 24, No. 4 (December 1974), 242-244. In "Judge Crater and His Fellow Travellers," Frank D. McSherry proposed that there is a pattern to cases in which people vanish. An examination of such cases in the Canon (Fina, Nobl, Twis, Iden, Miss, Prio, Lady) shows that this pattern applies to them.

C11180. Black, Donald C. "Doyle's Drug Doggerel," BSJ, 31, No. 2 (June 1981), 90-103. The article describes Sir Arthur's rhyming marginalia scribbled into his pharmacology textbook in 1878. His medical textbooks, together with his large library on spiritualism, are owned by the University of Texas at Austin's Harry Ransom Center. Poems were written to help the medical student memorize the effects of various drugs, and his use of these drugs in later Holmes stories is detailed for opium, ether, arsenic, and others. The text includes nine pages of reproductions of the marginalia.

"The results of this study demonstrate that the `state of the art' in the nineteenth country for the identification of poisons by chemical analysis was inadequate. Therefore, Sherlock Holmes chooses to rely on the physical symptoms for their identification. Holmes's knowledge of poisons demonstrates that he had become very familiar with the pharmacopoeia during his stay at Bart's."

"For the earnest Holmesian scholar, this little book will offer little, but for all those outside that erudite and esoteric class who nevertheless worship at the feet of the Master, and their name is legion, it is humbly thought that it might fill a need in helping them to understand what Watson was really talking about when he referred to such things as gasogenes, wideawake and billycock hats, commonplace books, growlers, a penang-lawyer ... a Cockford or a Bradshaw."

With a cover illustration by Sidney Paget. The historian can learn much about a period from its popular literature. Writers of popular literature, unlike noted artists or poets, are unassuming. They write fast, often for money, and mostly for the uncritical public. Their views are less apt to be affected; they are not conscious that they are writing for history. Their biases and dislikes come through. They can give a real, if unconscious, view of their society. Dr. Iseminger takes a number of institutions of the Victorian period and indicates what can be learned about these institutions from reading the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The institutions include science and utilitarianism, duty, family (including the position of women and male attitudes toward them), scandal, money, the monarchy, classes, and crime and criminals.

Dr. Kissane draws upon examples from the Canon, and particularly from Houn, to develop the theme that Victorians viewed science as a weapon against twin evils: (1) Popular superstition of which evil men may take advantage for personal gain, and (2) A more primal, amoral ignorance.
C11224. -- B1882. Lauritzen, Henry. Dette England. En nostalgisk kaerlighedserklaering til det England, der var. København: Chr. Erichsens Forlag, [1976]. 191 p. One chapter, entitled "Detektiver -- og mordere" ["Detectives -- and Murderers"], contains a section on Sherlock Holmes (p. 83-86). Other references to Holmes and Watson also appear in this excellent and well-illustrated book.

C11226. -- B1888. Merriam, Joseph C., Jr. "Urbs Versus Rus in the Canon," The Fourth Cab. Boston: Stoke Moran Publishers, 1976. p. 14-15. In marked contrast to our own time, the city in the Sacred Writings is pictured as a center of civilization and refinement, compared with the country. At least this is the conclusion drawn, rather frivolously, by the author.

C11229. Duval, James O. "Holmes's Holiday Hiatus," Q£$, 3 No. 3 (August 1982), 33-36. It seems likely that Holmes spent his holidays in the familiar and secure surroundings of Sussex county, specifically the seacoast city of Brighton and the town of Seaford. These places offer examples of divergent lifestyles that correspond to his ever changing moods.

C11236. Poston, Lawrence. "City Versus Country: A Holmesian Variation on an Old Theme," Études Anglaises, 33, No. 2 (April-June 1980), 156-170. The Canonical tales depart from the anti-city tradition of Victorian literature, for in the apparent chaos of the close network of city life the skilled detective can trace pattern and order. The countryside, on the other hand, is anti-pastoral, deriving from the Gothic-horror tradition, but also from a horror of violence occurring beyond the reach of the organizations preserving law and order, such as had been depicted by Crabbe and Hardy. Yet Doyle's preference for the city is itself a piece of romantic nostalgia, for it is clear that he deliberately retained the late-Victorian background, even in stories written well into the 20th century.

There are four Sherlockian ones -- Holmesean Technique (his reasoning ability), Sherlock Holmes Method (provocation in order to study behavior, as in Scan), Sherlock Holmes Test (haemoglobin), and Sherlockitis (addiction to the Master).

"And Now, A Word from Arthur Conan Doyle," [Rev.] BSM, No. 62 (Summer 1990), 11-21. An examination of how the Sherlock Holmes stories have influenced the development of the English language, as seen through the new usages of existing vocabulary and the creation of new vocabulary recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary.

C11337. Anderson, David R. "Evil in the Canon," BSM, No. 59 (Fall 1989), 1-19. Doyle weaves a systematic discussion of the problem of evil into the fabric of the Holmes stories. The Canon entertains two responses to the question of whether the world is governed by good or evil forces: one response imagines that evil forces govern the world with Moriarty at their center; the other response imagines that the powers of good govern the world and that Holmes is their agent. The stories in the Canon are finally meant to show that despite the presence of evil in the world, the forces of Good triumph in the end, but evil is presented so convincingly in the Canon that Doyle's intentions are only partially fulfilled. Houn exemplifies this quality in Doyle's handling of evil.

From this union came about the most famous meeting of Drs. Doyle and Watson. Comments and references to Masonry wind in and out of the Canonical tales; e.g., Stud, Reti, and Scan.

This article summarizes the ways in which events chronicled in the Canon illustrate the beliefs and practices of Freemasonry. The Canon mentions the order directly five times but numerous events show Masonic influences upon Holmes's actions. Information on the organization's non-secret aspects is drawn from readily available Masonic books. While Holmes probably was not himself a Freemason. he was aware of their principles which deeply permeated Victorian society.

C11494. Brunauer, Dalma H. "Sherlock Holmes and the Hungarian Connexion," BSJ, 34, No. 2 (June 1984), 98-105. Thorough perusal of the Canon yields numerous clues to the fact that the Master had a not inconsiderable Hungarian connection. In Suss he denounced with authority the then fashionable fear of vampires, since his files on "Vampirism, Hungary" and "Vampirism, Transylvania" contained evidence that vampires didn't exist at all. In Devi he announced that the only specimen of that deadly poison in all of Europe could be found in a laboratory at Buda. His manner implied strongly that he was personally familiar with both the city and the laboratory. Gree concludes with the arrival from Buda-Pesth of "a curious newspaper cutting," raising questions as to the identity of Holmes's unnamed correspondent. The paper presents detailed support for the thesis that the Hungarian connection was none other than Irene Adler herself. A true chronology of her relationship with the Master is reconstructed, starting with Scan, continuing with the events at the Reichenbach Falls, through the Great Hiatus, and concluding with Last.

C11551. Moss, Robert A., and Daniel D. Koss. "SP or Sidney Paget," BSJ, 43, No. 2 (June 1993), 109-111. Paget illustrated twenty-two consecutive tales in the Memoirs and the Adventures without signing his full name. Only with Fina did he sign three illustrations "Sidney Paget" rather than "S.P." This change probably reflects Paget's belief that he was indeed illustrating the last Sherlock Holmes story.

"Page by page, Paget's designs give Doyle's words an added artistic dimension, drawing plausibly on the atmospheric devices employed by the writer himself. ... taken as a whole, his drawings form a textually integrated body of work that offers pleasure to the modern reader and insights into magazine art, Conan Doyle's art of words, the world of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and indeed into the rich culture and atmosphere of late nineteenth and early twentieth century England."
