Almost as much as John Bennett Shaw saw.</p><p>When he was putting on his conferences and chatting with the various attendees, Shaw noticed something: there wasn't a definitive list of what every Sherlockian Library should have. </p><p>Based on his observations, wide network, and endless library, Shaw developed a list of some 100 books, periodicals, and other material with which every Sherlock Holmes enthusiast should be familiar. This became known as <b><i>The Shaw 100</i></b>. Over time, items were added and others deleted.</p><p>We talk with Tim about how the collection and the list came to be, what significant changes occurred, and what a Shaw 100 list of 2021 might look like. Can you guess what might be on it?</p><p>And of course, we have another <b>Canonical Couplet</b> to challenge your acuity. If you are chosen as a winner, you'll get <i>The Sherlock Holmes Scrapbook</i> by Peter Haining.

Baker Street Elementary – A Minor Concession

<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span>“</span>some concession might be made for your personal effects.” [3GAB]</h4><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aegMiOqo6qY/YTTp9l-vYMI/AAAAAAABV1M/dgoLdz4rsTAfni5BBdY70ekZhDA0_vcOwCLcBGAsYHQ/s768/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aegMiOqo6qY/YTTp9l-vYMI/AAAAAAABV1M/dgoLdz4rsTAfni5BBdY70ekZhDA0_vcOwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.1.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Did Sherlock Holmes ever appear on the stage?<div><br /></div><div>We know that plenty of actors have played the great detective on the boards, beginning with Charles Brookfield in the musical parody "Under the Clock." Of course, William Gillette immortalized both himself and Holmes in his legendary appearances.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But what about Holmes himself? We know that he had the ability. In <i>The Sign of Four</i>, Inspector Athelney Jones remarked: </div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"You would have made an actor, and a rare one."</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Perhaps Holmes <i>had </i>been an actor. In "A Scandal in Bohemia," Watson wrote:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when he became a specialist in crime."</div></blockquote></div><div><div><br /></div><div>We could take this to mean that Holmes had indeed been employed on the stage at some point.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We know for certain that Neville St. Clair, "The Man with the Twisted Lip," had been an actor, which made his disguise as Hugh Boone so convincing. This barely noticeable line gives us the origin of his facility with makeup:</div><div><blockquote><div>"I travelled in my youth, took to the stage, and finally became a reporter on an evening paper in London."</div></blockquote></div><div>Sherlock Holmes, a fellow actor, would have seen through this disguise had he met Hugh Boone in person. It was only by eliminating all other possibilities that he came to his conclusion; when he arrives at the Bow Street station, Gladstone bag in hand, that was his first meeting with Boone. </div><div><br /></div><div>Once he is exposed, Holmes lightly scolds St. Claire, saying he should have trusted his wife. When St. Claire breaks down over his children potentially being ashamed of him, we see a very understanding and compassionate response:</div><div><blockquote><div>"Sherlock Holmes sat down beside him on the couch and patted him kindly on the shoulder."</div></blockquote></div><div>We put it to you: does this not seem like the reaction of a fellow thespian? One who could understand the rigors, sacrifices, and feelings associated with risking a reputation by playing make-believe?</div><div><br /></div><div>It seems only logical to concede that Sherlock Holmes did spend some time on the stage.</div><div><br /></div><div>[<b>BONUS</b>: for additional material regarding Holmes and the stage, <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/search/label/stage#.YTT0uo5Kjb0">follow this link</a>.]</div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, at Baker Street Elementary, the play's the thing...</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gosd6sqHNmo/YTTqEcylUpI/AAAAAAABV1U/r2h7MJcgjCkbnP7otwOhdCAQpFEco5HpgCLcBGAsYHQ/s768/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gosd6sqHNmo/YTTqEcylUpI/AAAAAAABV1U/r2h7MJcgjCkbnP7otwOhdCAQpFEco5HpgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j08fckYM9BA/YTTqEdbUmsI/AAAAAAABV1Q/9cS197JChHEos_jeL1q7-yGbrl-yjt6dACLcBGAsYHQ/s768/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j08fckYM9BA/YTTqEdbUmsI/AAAAAAABV1Q/9cS197JChHEos_jeL1q7-yGbrl-yjt6dACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lx9WsPqzPxY/YTTqEW4xnuI/AAAAAAABV1Y/VW_ZNhG7pyYnifD2rtlziOj0NH27LtFEQCLcBGAsYHQ/s768/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lx9WsPqzPxY/YTTqEW4xnuI/AAAAAAABV1Y/VW_ZNhG7pyYnifD2rtlziOj0NH27LtFEQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NNSrLVf5kLg/YTTqEsr128I/AAAAAAABV1c/xku-H1A2PIYlBTP2D2D7qdhEzwZ9XzRwACLcBGAsYHQ/s768/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NNSrLVf5kLg/YTTqEsr128I/AAAAAAABV1c/xku-H1A2PIYlBTP2D2D7qdhEzwZ9XzRwACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.5.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o7FZhO_goU0/YTTqEw0XSyI/AAAAAAABV1g/RmX0_JOrQhkMsqUaJxvPNRF3PFXua_zjgCLcBGAsYHQ/s768/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o7FZhO_goU0/YTTqEw0XSyI/AAAAAAABV1g/RmX0_JOrQhkMsqUaJxvPNRF3PFXua_zjgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary%2B114.6.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /><div><div><b style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><i>Baker Street Elementary</i></b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-size: 14px;"> follows the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, as they and their friends work through the issues of elementary school in Victorian London.

Even Inspector Stanley Hopkins, no stranger to Holmes and his methods, said this about him:</div><div><blockquote><div>“I believe that you are a wizard, Mr. Holmes. I really do sometimes think that you have powers that are not human.” [ABBE]</div></blockquote></div><div>When Holmes took the effort to explain his reasoning—to a client like Jabez Wilson in "The Red-Headed League," for example—the magic vanished and it approached common sense:</div><div><br /></div><div><blockquote><div>“I thought at first that you had done something clever, but I see that there was nothing in it, after all.”</div></blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div>When it comes to terminology, however, it is interesting to note that Sherlock Holmes himself never refers to his own methods as simply "common sense."</div><div><br /></div><div>Indeed, as we look across the Canon, the term "common sense" is applied—almost universally—as a pejorative when pointing out the official police and their methods.</div><div><br /></div><div>In <i>The Sign of Four</i>, Athleney Jones self-identifies with that thread of thought: </div><div><blockquote><div>“Well, well, if it was fastened the steps could have nothing to do with the matter. That’s common sense. Man might have died in a fit; but then the jewels are missing. Ha! I have a theory. These flashes come upon me at times...Let us apply common sense to the matter.”</div></blockquote></div><div>Ironically, it was Jones who called the master "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the theorist" just a few moments before that statement.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sergeant Wilson of the Sussex Constabulary is with Mrs. Douglas and Cecil Barker at the scene of the crime in <i>The Valley of Fear</i>, his "slow, bucolic common sense was still pondering the open window."</div><div><br /></div><div>Later, Inspector MacDonald can't seem to wrap his head around the facts:</div><div><blockquote><div>“Oh, man, it’s just inconceivable! It’s clean against common sense! I put it to you, Mr. Holmes, judging it by what we have heard.”</div></blockquote></div><div>To the unnamed inspector in "The Three Gables," Sherlock Holmes remarked, "What rugged common sense!"</div><div><br /></div><div>Holmes valued common sense in his own realm, but was hailed for his analytical reasoning. By putting his professional competition on the plane of common sense, he was able to devalue it and make them seem less capable (not that they needed help) by calling them out for their pedestrian thinking.</div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, at Baker Street Elementary, we find the non-sensical accompanying the common sensical...</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

You Have Been in Afghanistan, I Perceive

It immortalizes that famous greeting.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">“My experience of camp life in Afghanistan” [BOSC]</h3><p>Since Afghanistan is in the news again, we thought it might be worthwhile to reflect on it briefly.</p><p>We're already familiar with that very first greeting. It is the seminal basis of one of the greatest partnerships in literary history. Watson had returned from war, a wounded veteran, looking for a flatmate.</p><p>Holmes's explanation later on gave us a taste of how he arrived at his seemingly magical conclusion:</p><blockquote><p>“I knew you came from Afghanistan. From long habit the train of thoughts ran so swiftly through my mind, that I arrived at the conclusion without being conscious of intermediate steps. There were such steps, however. The train of reasoning ran, ‘Here is a gentleman of a medical type, but with the air of a military man. Clearly an army doctor, then. He has just come from the tropics, for his face is dark, and that is not the natural tint of his skin, for his wrists are fair. He has undergone hardship and sickness, as his haggard face says clearly. His left arm has been injured. He holds it in a stiff and unnatural manner. Where in the tropics could an English army doctor have seen much hardship and got his arm wounded? Clearly in Afghanistan.’ The whole train of thought did not occupy a second.

T.S. Eliot's Love Song to Sherlock Holmes

Eliot</a> (Wikimedia Commons - <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en" target="_blank">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>)</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><div>"Let us go then, you and I," said Sherlock Holmes to his companion, "when the evening is spread out against the sky." <br /><br />No, wait: that wasn't Sherlock, that was Prufrock, the speaker in a poem that continues to intrigue and infuriate, and that is recognized as one of the principal works of Modernism although it's now more than 100 years old.<br /><br /> You may have studied "<a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/44212/the-love-song-of-j-alfred-prufrock" target="_blank">The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock</a>" in high school, and you may remember that its author was T. S. Eliot, who also wrote "Four Quartets," "Murder in the Cathedral," "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats," and much more. <div><br /></div><div>Eliot was born in St. Louis in the fall of 1888, during the season of London's Jack the Ripper murders, and (according to some chronologists) simultaneous with the Baskerville hound case on Dartmoor. He moved to London as a young man, turned British, and lived until the early days of 1965, when the musical "Baker Street" was in Boston tryouts before its Broadway run. From the early career of Holmes himself to the first murmurings of the Great Sherlock Holmes Boom a lifetime later, in fact. <br /><br /> Scholars both Sherlockian and academic have repeatedly pointed out connections between the canons of Sherlock and Prufrock, starting at least as far back as a brief item in the journal <i>Notes and Queries</i> in 1948. Vernon S. Goslin wrote in <i>The Sherlock Holmes Journal</i> in 1965, noting Eliot's death, that "Conan Doyle and Eliot share the same poetry of outer London." </div><div><br /></div><div>One issue later, A. D. Henriksen had a full-length article in the <i>SHJ</i> discussing Eliot's own 1928 essay about the Sherlock Holmes tales. (See also "<a href="https://crimereads.com/t-s-eliot-crime-fiction-critic/" target="_blank">T.S. Eliot, Crime Fiction Critic</a>" on CrimeReads)<br /><br /><br /> Your high school teacher, explaining "Prufrock" (or, more ambitiously, "The Waste Land"), probably did not point out that several of Eliot's works contain blatant references to the stories of Sherlock Holmes. </div><div><br /></div><div>The most widely known of these is the verse about Macavity, the Mystery Cat, who bears a strong resemblance to the late Professor James Moriarty, to the point that the musical "Cats," based on Eliot's poems, belongs in a comprehensive Sherlockian collection. "East Coker," the second of the Four Quartets, is notable for turning a canonical place name into a common noun: "On the edge of a grimpen, where is no secure foothold." <br /><br /> And in "Murder in the Cathedral," a considerable passage from "The Musgrave Ritual" — literally from the questions and answers of the ritual — is quoted in a quite different context, a duel of words between Archbishop Thomas à Becket and the Tempter who is trying his soul. </div><div><br /></div><div>One of the great Sherlockians, Nathan L. Bengis, went to the horse's mouth about these lines, and was able to report in <i>The Baker Street Journal</i> in 1951 that Eliot himself said the borrowing was "deliberate and wholly conscious."</div><div><br /></div><blockquote><div>"Who shall have it? He who will come. What shall be the month? The last from the first. What shall we give for it? Pretence of priestly power." </div></blockquote><div><br /> So what about Prufrock and his love song? </div><div><br /></div><div>There is nothing that blatant, but it is not hard to read the whole 140-line poem as a Sherlockian work — a slightly surrealist pastiche, let's say. Eliot wrote this "love song" in 1910-1911, less than a decade after Sherlock Holmes's apparent retirement from active practice, and exactly contemporary with the publication of such canonical tales as "The Devil's Foot," "The Red Circle," and "Lady Frances Carfax." (It was actually published in 1915.)</div><div><br /> When it speaks of "the yellow fog" and "the soot that falls from chimneys," it is talking about the London that Holmes and Watson knew, and "the smoke that rises from the pipes of lonely men in shirt-sleeves" could be their very smoke.</div><div><br /></div><div>Prufrock, like Holmes, walks through London's "streets that follow like a tedious argument of insidious intent to lead you to an overwhelming question." The reader is not to ask what the question actually is, says Prufrock, but I think we know:</div><div><br />"What did you do with the bodies?"<br /><br /> And when Prufrock speaks of being "formulated, sprawling on a pin… pinned and wriggling on the wall," how can one not think of Peter Carey? Or, indeed, of Jack Stapleton: "A pin, a cork, and a card, and we add him to the Baker Street collection!" </div><div><br /></div><div>Many other lines in the poem have canonical connections, and the narrative of an aging, insecure man wishing but not daring to present himself as a lover might have an echo here and there. "There will be time," says Prufrock,</div><div><blockquote> there will be time<br /> To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;<br /> There will be time to murder and create. </blockquote><br />And it seems clear that what Eliot created more than a hundred years ago came in part from Sherlock Holmes. </div><div><br /></div><div>--</div><div><br /></div><br /></div>

I could imagine his giving a friend a little pinch of the latest vegetable alkaloid, not out of malevolence, you understand, but simply out of a spirit of inquiry in order to have an accurate idea of the effects. To do him justice, I think that he would take it himself with the same readiness. He appears to have a passion for definite and exact knowledge.”</div></blockquote></div><div>And of course, over the course of his time with Watson, Holmes continued pursue knowledge via experiments.</div><div><br /></div><div>The opening scene of "The Naval Treaty," for example, finds Holmes at work on a chemical investigation at his side-table:</div><div><div>A formidable array of bottles and test-tubes, with the pungent cleanly smell of hydrochloric acid, told me that he had spent his day in the chemical work which was so dear to him.<br />“Well, have you solved it?” I asked as I entered.<br />“Yes.
