Hi,
  As most of our members must be aware, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 150th
anniversary was on 22nd May and BBC radio did a small program in their
'Analysis' segment. Your's truly was fortunate enough to add his two bit on the
show. Here's the link, which will last till 29th may.

Dear SHians,
 
I seem to recollect having read somewhere that "Sherlock" is an Olde
English name meaning "bright hair" or "fair hair" (Gaelic Scurlog (scir+locc?)
when I Google it). Could it be a European name then?

Dear Sherlockians,
 
It is a great relief for me to be back with our international Sherlock Holmes
Society and it is always reassuring as ever. Regarding the proposed B.B.C.
programme, the details of which Sumal has so kindly posted, we are proud that
our Society has become truly international. 
 
Come 22 May 2009, and the literary world would be celebrating the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of Arthur Conan Doyle’s birthday. It is really
amazing how the ophthalmologist of Irish descent had created a detective who
would incorporate all the norms of Englishness within his demeanour and yet be
loved all over the world. Doyle’s creation of Sherlock Holmes – of Scottish
descent if William S. Baring-Gould and Leslie Klinger are to be believed –
actually served to shift the literary world’s attention from the American
identity of detective fiction to its popularity as a British ‘conception’.
We may recall that modern detective fiction began with the American novelist and
short-story-writer Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘tales of ratiocination’ in the
1840s. William (‘Wilkie’) Collins, an Englishman, was the only other
detective story writer of repute before Doyle began enthralling readers with his
Sherlock Holmes narratives, with the
  first, “A Study in Scarlet”, being published in November 1886-edition of
“Beeton’s Christmas Annual”. 
 
General readers often tend to gloss over Doyle’s Irish ancestry, which might
account for the ancestral and national ambiguity of his world-famous sleuth.
Mary Foley Doyle, Arthur’s mother, hailed from the family of Percy-Louvain, in
turn related to the Plantagenets, who had once ruled Britain. The
litterateur’s father, Charles, had forefathers who came from Pont d’ Oilly
(in Normandy, France) and who settled in Ireland in the 1330s under the
patronage of King Edward III.  The Doyles were Roman Catholics and by the 18th
century they had been evicted from their lands. 
 
I would request the learned Sherlockians to shed some light on the ambiguity in
Holmes’s nationality. The first names ‘Sherlock’ and ‘Mycroft’, for
all things, do not  sound European.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
(Pinaki Roy)

I think Holmes had no political affiliations at all. In "Scarlet", Watson
lists
down the areas of expertise/ignorance of Holmes and I quote,

"His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary
literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing"

Politics was something Holmes did not have an interest in.
However this does not mean that he took no interest in the world
affairs around him. In fact on several occasions in the canon,
Holmes is called to aid his motherland - remarkable examples
that come to mind are "The Second Stain", "Bruce Partington",
"His last bow" and many untold stories in the Canon.

I think to sum up, it is most likely that Holmes had an interest in
politics where his country was concerned in the world stage but
I doubt he had any interest in party politics inside his country.

Dear Holmes fans

I am looking for Sherlock Holmes fans who might be coming to the UK this summer
for a TV show.  The series is called John Sergeant's Tourist Trail and is for
prime-time broadcast on ITV in the UK and for world wide distribution.  It will
be looking at why tourists come to the UK and what they like to see when they
get here.  We want to find out what you think of our country and culture and why
you are passionate about something British.

If any of you are coming over around 18th May and 13th July this year or know
someone who is then do get in contact with me.  I am including some information
about the tv series at the bottom of this email.

Many thanks for your time.

JOHN SERGEANT'S TOURIST TRAIL
3 X 1 hour prime-time series for ITV


Having hung up his dancing shoes, our newest national treasure John Sergeant
takes an entertaining celebratory journey around Britain by returning to his
roots as a tour guide. John will get a unique perspective of Britain by joining
different tourist parties who are experiencing Britain for the first time as he
`looks at them looking at us'.

Across this landmark series, John will visit Britain's most iconic tourist
destinations. We will get the `best of class' in each region of the UK combining
the familiar with the surprising. On John's tourist trail, he'll also visit the
quirkier destinations specific to different nationalities that are not found in
traditional guidebooks.

As well as meeting a host of tour guides, John will also meet the other Brits
who rely on the tourists for their jobs. From the souvenir sellers on Oxford
Street to the staff of the Loch Ness gift shop, we'll meet some great characters
and hear entertaining stories.

Not only will John join the tourist parties travelling around Britain, he'll
also return to his roots as a tour guide in a series of immersive challenges.
Now he's seen the professional tourist guides in action, it's his turn to put on
the show. John will have to cram up on a variety of different subjects that
celebrate the best of Britain – from iconic sights to some of the quirkier
tours.

At the end of the series, John will sum up his immersive journey. The sights
he's seen for the first time, the people he's met and what it's been like to
experience Britain through the eyes of a tourist. What has John learned `looking
at them looking at us'?

  Please modify the society joining message so as to clearly

I co-ordinate a list and have been able to maintain a zero spam

May 22 is the 150th anniversary of ACD's birth in Edinburgh back in 1859.



Could members of the Society let lots of newspapers and Media people know,
perhaps with a summary of ACD's principal Sherlock Holmes' works?  I can
scan a photo I have of a mock-up of the main room at Baker Street and email
it to members if asked.

Hello Anand,
there is some debate on the subject. Some scholars opt for January 6 on the
grounds that Holmes quotes from Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night" three times,
which implies this is his favorite of the plays. As Twelfth Night falls on
January 6, they take it to mean this date has special significance.
Others suggest sometime in May, basing this on Queen Victoria having given
Holmes an emerald tiepin at the conclusion of "The Bruce Partington Plans."
Emerald is the birthstone for May. However, the King of Bohemia gave Holmes an
Amethyst snuff box, and Amethyst is the birthstone for February. And the rose is
the flower associated with June, calling to mind Holmes' speech about the
goodness of Nature in "The Naval Treaty."
I suppose other arguments could be made to support each month in the calendar...
cheers,
Jeff

Dear Anand and Holmesians,
I also vaguely remember that we discussed this some years back in this society
too!
Sumalsn

Dear Anand and Holmesians,
January 6, 1854 (according to Christopher Morley, pioneer American Sherlockian).
At any rate apparently he was a Capricorn.
Here goes the link,
http://www.sherlockian.net/world/
Sumalsn

I suppose one could say the month - November - because that was when the
first story was published in Beeton's Christmas Annual, but there is nowhere
a day to be found!

Thanks Tim. So I guess there is no mention in the canon on the
exact date. I myself can't recall to the mind any instance of this
being discussed...

SH's birthday is usually simply placed at the year he was first revealed to
the world, i.e. 1887_



Sherlock Holmes Biography

wrote about the detective in a series of 60 stories published between 1887

deduction, which he used to solve perplexing crimes and mysteries. He
operated from his flat at 221b Baker Street in London, assisted by his

Anyone read  The Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale  ?

Published by Bloomsbury



Apparently he was an 'intuitive' detective and became the prototype of many
detectives in fiction.
