A deep dive into how Conan Doyle built Sherlock Holmes, from Dr. Joseph Bell’s observed science to Poe and Gaboriau’s influences. We explore the Sherlockian game—reconciling timeline inconsistencies, the 221B world, Watson vs. Holmes, Irene Adler, and the era’s view of science and drugs—and why the detective endures.
