    Course description

    Sherlock Holmes is the most famous fictional detective. Who doesn't know "Elementary, my dear Watson!", and that Holmes never said it? What was the relation between Sherlock and real-life author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? We will explore the biographies of both "characters" in this course and the lasting impact of the Sherlock stories on our culture. The last class will be a PBS video of a Holmes mystery with Jeremy Brett.
