Overview
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle references many everyday Victorian activities and aspects that are lost on the twenty-first century reader. These short essays provide additional information for modern readers to give a better understanding of the nineteenth century. Originally published in Sherlockian newsletters, these are gathered here to share insights into Victorian pastimes such as horse racing, boxing, and train travel; the changing role of women with the introduction of the bicycle and the typewriter; and common activities such as visiting pubs, drinking tea, and steam baths.Such insights carry the reader back to London 1895 and the world of the most famous consulting detective.
