jan 2, 1989 - Ms. Holmes of Baker Street

Description:

The tables were turned by Ms. Holmes of Baker Street, a 1989 study by C. Alan Bradley and William A. S. Sarjeant. In a dozen chapters and several appendices, they argue that Holmes was the woman in the Baker Street household. As well as explaining Holmes’s notorious mood changes as the effects of a hormonal cycle, they review every nuance of the interactions between Holmes and Watson that would tempt a later generation to look for a romantic and sexual connection between the two men. Bradley and Sarjeant do not, however, go so far as to suggest that Holmes was a wife to Watson; indeed, they maintain that Watson never realized he was sharing rooms with a woman.
