Book Description

These are journals for both writers and artists. Some pages are blank so that you can draw, doodle, paste pictures, or construct a map of the interior of your mind. Other pages are lined with a teeny-tiny version of a great work of literature. That's where you write your thoughts. A journal is the cheapest form of psychiatry. It's a dear friend who actually won't repeat your secrets. A journal doesn't care how you spell botulism. It won't call the police if you threaten to murder your co-workers. It won't laugh if you share your fantasy of someday winning the Pulitzer and the Nobel Prize on the same day. A journal doesn't mind if it becomes messy, dog-eared, and scribbled as long as it is always within reach.

Book Description

This book of interdisciplinary essays serves to situate the original Sherlock Holmes, and his various adaptations, in a contemporary cultural context. This collection is prompted by three main and related questions: firstly, why is Sherlock Holmes such an enduring and ubiquitous cultural icon; secondly, why is it that Sherlock Holmes, nearly 130 years after his birth, is enjoying such a spectacular renaissance; and, thirdly, what sort of communities, imagined or otherwise, have arisen around this figure since the most recent resurrections of Sherlock Holmes by popular media? Covering various media and genres (TV, film, literature, theatre) and scholarly approaches, this comprehensive collection offers cogent answers to these questions.
