The Secret Marriage Of Sherlock Holmes, And Other Eccentric Readings

Attribution
Michael Atkinson
Publication Details
Book, University of Michigan Press, 1996
Description
The Secret Marriage of Sherlock Holmes is about reading, a process that we take for granted. But Sherlock Holmes, the cultural icon to whose exploits Michael Atkinson gives new readings, became famous by taking nothing for granted. Holmes’s adventures can be read in new ways, including ways that he himself would have found startling, but which can give contemporary readers satisfaction. Just as Holmes uses treatises on tobacco ash and tattoos to give fresh readings to puzzling facts, Atkinson employs widely different critical strategies to unravel the mysteries of reading itself.

Capital Offenses : Geographies Of Class And Crime In Victorian London

Attribution
Simon Joyce
Publication Details
Book, University of Virginia Press, 2003
Description
Whereas Victorian social science presumed a correlation between criminal activity, geographical residence, and social class, the popular literature of the period often sought just as strenuously to deny the link, giving rise to privileged and pathological offenders like Dorian Gray and Dr. Jekyll. Illustrating “literary geography”–in which physical space is not merely a backdrop for the plot but an integral element in shaping textual meaning–Simon Joyce?s Capital Offenses reveals how certain geographical patterns can not only give weight to interpretive meanings already suggested in the texts but also enable us to read them in a new and surprising light. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
