About this Broadcast
Shadows and Sleuths
Season 1, Episode 3
The historian investigates why Arthur Conan Doyle brought Sherlock Holmes back to life and finds that the darkness of the later stories mirrored the reality of the author's life. After the loss of his eldest son, he became an evangelist for spiritualism, and while his star declined after a public spat with the magician Houdini, Holmes by contrast found a life beyond his author on stage and screen
