| Summary |
"From his 1887 literary debut, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has lost none of his appeal. A variety of Holmeses and Watsons in recent years have depicted their relationship as nuanced and complementary. Focusing on the Guy Ritchie films, the BBC's Sherlock and CBS's Elementary, this collection of new essays explores the ideas and implications behind these adaptations"-- Provided by publisher. |
