[QUOTE="DrT999, post: 560267, member: 1935"] While I have read selected stories over the past few years (I often use 'The Sign of Four' when I teach a course on the Victorians for example), I don't think I've reread the entire canon since sometime in the '70s. So, using the excuse ... err, make that 'rationale' ... that I hope to mine some social/cultural information both for the upcoming iteration of the Victorian course this fall and for a possible article, I've started to do just that. Currently on 'The Blue Carbuncle', and the stories are, for the most part, as much fun as I remember. Well, part 2 of 'A Study in Scarlet' is still a bit tedious, IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if the similar portion of 'The Valley of Fear' is similar. [/QUOTE]
