Holmes Alone
About this episode
This episode explores the theme of loneliness and isolation in the context of Sherlock Holmes and his relationship with Watson.
"the gap of loneliness and isolation" [MAZA] Holmes and Watson go together like every great paring. To think of one of them, one must, by simple association, think of the other. It seems almost anathema to consider them alone. In his 2009 Morley-Montgomery Award-winning article "Holmes Alone: Glimpses of Post-Watson Baker Street in 'The Mazarin Stone,'" Marshall Berdan, BSI ("Henri Murger") paints a very different picture than the lost-without-his-Boswell detective. His analysis is just a Trifle. If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift.
