Sherlock and Porlock: A Study of Literary Influence In the Sherlock Holmes Stories
No Customer Reviews
From the preface to the 1984 edition Ed Hoch writes: 'In this... volume, Kelvin I. Jones reveals a fine knowledge, not only of the Holmes Canon but of numerous other writers who were near contemporaries of Arthur Conan Doyle. I believe that even some non-Sherlockians will discover much interest in these pages. Jones reveals a sensibility and knowledge of 19th Century literature that goes far beyond the world of Sherlock Holmes.'(Edward D. Hoch was one of the most honoured mystery writers of all time. In addition to winning an Edgar for Best Short Story, he received the Mystery Writers of America's highest honour, the Grand Master Award, and was recognised for Lifetime Achievement by the Private Eye Writers of America and the Bouchercon. Ed Hoch was the only author who specialised in the mystery short story to receive such recognition.)
