Description

Sherlock Holmes's world was one of inquiry and investigation. His creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, drew upon the latest forensic techniques, scientific breakthroughs, and Victorian passions for detection to craft an iconic character. In this in-depth exploration, biographer Andrew Lycett examines the inspirations behind the world's greatest detective. He delves into the interests, personality, and mythologised biography of both Holmes and Doyle, tracing the evolution of the detective's world from the era of séances and detection crazes to contemporary developments in science and psychology. By weaving together the threads of inspiration that shaped Conan Doyle's creation, Lycett offers a nuanced understanding of the enduring enigma that is Sherlock Holmes.
