The stories of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are an encyclopedia of life during the times of Queen Victoria, the era of heroic capitalism and the triumph of British colonialism. The author conducted a thorough historical and cultural analysis of several cases from the practice of Sherlock Holmes - and shared the results. This book is about how the world around 221-b Baker Street treated money, labor, other peoples, politics; and also about Victorian feminism and dandyism. And that we, in a sense, still live inside “Holmesianism.”
