Studies in
Scarlet
Edited by David L. Hammer
The collection of
musings in this volume were contributed in 1988 - the centennial of the
publication of A Study in Scarlet; the novel in which Sherlock Holmes was
introduced to the world. There has rarely, if ever, been a collection of
insightful examinations of a canonical work, and/or event, such as contained in
this volume! Sherlockian legends such as Michael Harrison, Michael Hardwick,
John Bennett Shaw, Kiyoshi Tanaka, Philip Schreffler, John Lellenberg, and even
David Hammer, himself, as well as others, delve into the nature of this landmark
publication and the effect the introduction of the character, Sherlock Holmes,
had on the subsequent course of human events. In Mr. Lellenberg's chapter
entitled, "The Original MSS," the author even includes some reproductions of
Doyle's original manuscripts complete with some very interesting editorial
changes inserted by Sir Arthur, himself. 195 pages, soft cover, perfect binding,
many pictures and graphics
