Sherlock Holmes and Pope's Essay on Man
Notes de l’épisode
"all life is a great chain" [STUD] Sherlock Holmes is "Pope's version of the ideal Man, the one who attains his greatest potential without vainly attempting to rise above it." So says Anastasia Klimchynskaya, BSI ("An Old Russian Woman") in her thesis regarding Alexander Pope's four-epistle volume and the great detective, which appeared in the Winter 2013 issue of The Baker Street Journal under the title "A Study in Scarlet and the Study of Mankind: Sherlock Holmes and Pope's Essay on Man." She took home the Morley-Montgomery Award that year. And it's just a Trifle. If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].
