Sherlock Holmes is the most famous fictional detective in history,
with a popularity that has never waned since catching the
imagination of his late-Victorian readership. This Companion
explores Holmes' popularity and his complex relationship to the
late-Victorian and modernist periods; on one hand bearing the
imprint of a range of Victorian anxieties and preoccupations, while
on the other shaping popular conceptions of criminality, deviance,
and the powers of the detective. This collection explores these
questions in three parts. 'Contexts' explores late-Victorian
culture, from the emergence of detective fiction to ideas of
evolution, gender, and Englishness. 'Case Studies' reads selected
Holmes adventures in the context of empire, visual culture, and the
gothic. Finally, 'Holmesian Afterlives' investigates the
relationship between Holmes and literary theory, film and theatre
adaptations, new Holmesian novels, and the fandom that now
surrounds him.
