[...]a fascinating, thought-provoking, and highly enjoyable read.
The book should be required reading for students taking courses in
crime fiction or late nineteenth-century culture: it is an
invaluable corrective of the tendency to generalize about social
developments of the time. But The Case of Sherlock Holmes will also
attract a wide readership of Holmes enthusiasts and scholars of
early genre fiction alike, all of whom are likely to encouter new
insights into the historical world of the stories.--Penny Fielding,
University of Edinburgh "Victorian Studies, 2019"
In The Case of Sherlock Holmes: Secrets and Lies in Conan Doyle's
Detective Fiction, Glazzard revisits the "unnoticed" little things
that run throughout the canon, hoping to revise our appreciation of
how profoundly these stories are engaged with the social and
political challenges of their time.--Christopher Metress "English
Literature in Transition 1880 - 1920"
