A
century after The Hound of the Baskervilles was written, Sherlock
Holmes continues to set the standard for the scientific detective—in
fiction and in real life. In this program, Georgetown University’s
Maureen Corrigan; Doyle biographer Daniel Stashower; cultural historian
Sir Christopher Frayling, editor of the Penguin Classics edition of
The Hound; and Sherlockian scholar Peter Blau analyze the plot,
setting, characterization, and themes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most
popular Holmes story ever. Holmes as a cultural icon, Doyle’s
fascination with spiritualism, and forensic science as it is applied
today are also covered, and film clips from The Hound and of an
interview with Doyle himself are included. A Discovery University
Production. (51 minutes)
