Book Reviews of Ladies, Ladies: The Women in the Life of Sherlock Holmes
Book Review: A Holmesienne must for the Holmesian
Summary: 4 Stars
This new anthology fills the yawning empty space in the bookshelf awaiting articles dealing with Holmes and Watson from a feminist point of view. Fine ruminative pieces by Grant Eustace, ME Rich, Evelyn Herzog, and Philip Shreffler anchor the book. Informative articles by Patricia Guy, Enrico Solito, Catherine Cooke, and Joanne Zahorsky-Reeves offer new understanding of historical sidelights of special interest to women. All the essays manage to be weighty and spritely simultaneously, and weaving through the collection, perhaps to honor the Adventuresses' tendency to break into song, are a remarkable collection of original songs and poems and music hall standards. This is a delightful read whether curled in front of a crackling fire or sprawled before a blasting air conditioner.
