A Quick Succession of Subjects

Lectures and Speeches on Sherlock Holmes
By Christopher Redmond

As the title suggests, the talks collected here cover quite a range of topics, including the First World War, academic geography, and constitutional law. Some are strictly Sherlockian in the old-fashioned sense; others are Doylean, or historical, or just silly. Several touch on a special interest of mine, the way religious and spiritual themes are expressed in the stories of Sherlock Holmes.
