Sherlock Holmes pastiches

Sherlock Holmes Pastiches are pastiches in the sense of continuations and additions to the Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle by other authors.

General

In his “Memories”, Watson mentions other adventures of the famous detective that he has not yet put on paper. These remarks are the basis of some pastiches that formed around Sherlock Holmes. Many of the replicas are presented as Watson's lost and suddenly, mostly by chance, stories rediscovered.

In freely imagined pastiches, Holmes and Watson sometimes encounter other literary figures, for example the master thief AJ Raffles , Professor Challenger or the vampire Dracula in a pastiche by Loren D. Estleman, or even real people of their time, from Queen Victoria , George Bernard Shaw , Oscar Wilde , Bram Stoker , Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein . Holmes solves both real criminal cases , such as the Jack-the-Ripper murders, as well as cases that touch the fantasy worlds of other authors such as HG Wells (the invasion of the Martians in The War of the Worlds ) or The Phantom of the Opera .

Until 1981, when, 50 years after AC Doyle's death, the literary work of Doyle and thus the character of Sherlock Holmes became common property under English copyright law , Doyle and his heirs had copyright protection on the characters and their names. Therefore, other authors had to use paraphrases unless they received express permission. Maurice Leblanc , who in two of his novels lets Sherlock Holmes compete against his own creation, the master thief Arsène Lupine , calls him “Herlock Sholmes” and his companion “Dr. Wilson". In the three novels of Henry Fitzgerald Heard , playing at the time when the retired Holmes in itself Sussex of beekeeping is dedicated, is the name after his brother's "Mr. Mycroft ".

Often it is not necessary to mention the names; it is enough a physical description to indicate to Doyle's characters (for example, see Poul Anderson's chronicles of the time patrol , "the [private] was lean and tall, had an eagle face and will be accompanied by a strong guy with a mustache and limp, the one famulus to be Scheine ”.) Quotes from the original stories or typical Holmes sayings can refer to the template. For example, the famous, often rumored phrase comes : “ Elementary, my dear Watson. ”Does not appear in this form in Doyle's major works, but rather refers to the first Sherlock Holmes play Sherlock Holmes: A Drama in Four Acts , which Doyle wrote together with actor William Gillette . There it says: "Oh, this is elementary, my dear Watson". In the first sound film for the series The Return of Sherlock Holmes (dt. The return of Sherlock Holmes ) from 1929, the saying was shortened to the version known today.

The numerous re-creations, including pastiches by well-known authors such as Mark Twain , Stephen King , Neil Gaiman , Ellery Queen , Nicholas Meyer , Jörg Kastner , Maurice Leblanc , Laurie R. King , Philip José Farmer , RA Stemmle or Isaac Asimov , can be divided into different Divide categories.

Pastiches

The first Sherlock Holmes pastiche

The first known Sherlock Holmes pastiche is the story The case of the man who was wanted . The story was discovered in Doyle's estate in 1942 and published as a real Sherlock Holmes story in The Strand magazine in 1947 . Doyle's biographer Hesketh Pearson and the Doyle Estate subsequently pointed out that the story was written by Arthur Whitaker and was written around 1914. Whitaker sent the story to Doyle in the hopes that the author could use the idea for one of his own tales. However, Doyle made no use of the template. In 1902 Mark Twain had already published the novella A Double Barreled Detective Story , but this is a pure satire on Doyle's work and similar Victorian detective stories and does not use any characters from the original stories. 1906 appeared in Simplicissimus a Sherlock Holmes story by Ludwig Thoma with the title Der Münzdiebstahl or Sherlock Holmes in Munich , which was followed in 1916 by the anonymously published story The Poisoned Museum Director or the Slap on the Back of the Head .

"Lost Cases"

"Lost Cases" are marginal adventures in the original Doyle stories that Dr. Watson recorded, but did not publish for various reasons (out of discretion , for the sake of the state of affairs, to avoid mass panic , etc.), for example the stories of the giant rat of Sumatra and one of the worms completely unknown to science, the mysterious death of the banker Crosby, who Mad journalist and duelist Isadore Persano, the disappearance of Mr. James Philimore. Here the well-known duo appears as in Doyle's stories.

There are novels and short stories about the "lost cases". Holmes, for example, saves London from the plague (The Man of Secrets) , gets to know the beginning of organized crime (The Violet Hand) , finds the stolen Crown Jewels of the late Queen Victoria (Sherlock Holmes and the Crown Jewels) or reveals the mystery of the monster from Loch Ness ( The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes ) . Sometimes only individual elements from the original stories are used in literary terms, such as Watson's remark (in the original story The Six Napoleons ) that Holmes solved a case by measuring the depth of the parsley sunk in the butter . It is used in the 2003 story The Bedridden Lady by Claire Griffin .

Stories from the youth

There are also stories from the great detective's youth when he met Dr. Watson had not yet met and therefore (unlike brother Mycroft) is not there. These include the eight youth novels by Andrew Lane . In the film " The Secret of the Hidden Temple " (OT: Young Sherlock Holmes ), a young Sherlock Holmes meets a young John Watson, which, however, breaks with the specifications of the original works, since in A Study in Scarlet Watson tells that he has never before Holmes met before.

Stories from exile

In the three years between the events at the Reichenbach Falls ( The Last Problem ) and his return to London ( The Empty House ), Holmes lived incognito partly in Tibet and partly on the European continent. The experiences during this time, in which Holmes had the code name Sigerson, were u. a. by Jamyang Norbu in the German translation Das Mandala des Dalai Lama (original title: The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes: The Adventures of the Great Detective in India and Tibet) and by Richard Wincoe (Sherlock Holmes in Tibet) and Franziska Franke ( implemented several novels with another Adlatus named David Tristram).

Stories about the elder Holmes

These stories are set in the time of Sherlock Holmes, according to Watson for bee breeding to Sussex withdrew. The three novels by Henry Fitzgerald Heard belong in this category : Here Holmes, called "Mr Mycroft", is accompanied by a Sydney Silchester. In Laurie R. King's Pastiche series , the aged Sherlock Holmes solves further cases with his younger lover Mary Russell, a young woman who is his equal and whom he marries after training her as a detective.

In Michael Chabon's The Final Solution (German: The Last Riddle ), the 89-year-old detective deals with the riddle of a missing parrot. The 1947 novel A slight Trick of the Mind (Mitch Cullen, 2005) with a 93-year-old beekeeping retiree was filmed in 2015 with Ian McKellen under the title Mr. Holmes .

Stories about Holmes' companions

Sherlock Holmes' companions, Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson are at the center of another category (e.g. Stephen King: Watson's case ; Sydney Hosier: No case for Mr. Holmes ), as are the "Baker Street Irregulars", Holmes' gang of young people from the lower social class who do informal and messenger services for him (the television series In the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes , 1983). Other stories also focus on the Sherlock Holmes societies, such as the American Baker Street Irregulars in "Treffpunkt: Baker Street" (OT: The Case of the Baker Street Irregulars , 1940) by Anthony Boucher or the German Von Herder Airguns Ltd. in Thorsten C. Dickels The Fall of the Falls .

A “special” companion in numerous pastiches is Professor Moriarty , the mysterious “Napoleon of Crime”. For example, the book by Anthony Horowitz called Moriarty is about a dead person at the foot of the Reichenbach Falls , in which an encrypted message to Moriarty is found.

Sherlock Holmes and Sigmund Freud

A special case is the story of Nicholas Meyer Sherlock Holmes and the Sigmund Freud case (OT: The seven percent solution ), which was filmed in 1976 under the title No Coke for Sherlock Holmes . Here, the story of Professor Moriarty The Final Problem (OT: The Final Problem), which ends with the battle at the Reichenbach Falls, is retold. Holmes cocaine use , which at Doyle only occurs in times of boredom, becomes a cocaine addiction here. In the retelling, Professor Moriarty is not the " Napoleon of Crime", but the former private tutor of the Holmes family and is responsible for the death of Holmes' mother, with whom he had a relationship. Holmes himself suffers from these unresolved childhood experiences and, with the help of cocaine, escapes into delusions of a super criminal. Watson and Mycroft Holmes succeed in luring Holmes on the trail of the supposedly volatile Moriarty to Vienna in the practice of Sigmund Freud , who frees him from addiction and treats Holmes psychoanalytically . In addition, Holmes solves a case in the Austrian capital. In the end, when Watson asks how he should publish this story, Holmes replies that Watson should write about his death in the fight with Moriarty so that the detective would have some time off the public.

An essay by Michael Shepherd (also published in Germany under the title Sherlock Holmes and the Sigmund Freud case ) illuminates the similarities between the criminalistic deduction of the master detective and the method of psychoanalysis . Michael Dibdin , by the way, tries another psychological interpretation in his work The Last Sherlock Holmes Novel from 1978, which was awarded the Edgar of the Criminal Writers of America . There, Moriarty is not only a product of the detective's imagination, but also an aspect of his split personality . Watson finally finds out to his horror that Holmes himself is both the "Napoleon of Crime" and Jack the Ripper .

In CS Mahrendorff's novel And they touched the sleep of the world , the narrator Dr. Heydinger, a friend and colleague of Sigmund Freud, - based on Meyer's Sherlock Holmes and the Sigmund Freud case - presents a psychoanalysis of the detective and thus exposes his repressed memories.

Arthur Conan Doyle novels

Another special case of pastiches are novels with the author Arthur Conan Doyle as the acting character.

In Seven by Mark Frost , (OT: The List of Seven , 1993) tells how Doyle came up with the idea to write stories about Sherlock Holmes. In the novel, Doyle gets caught up in an obscure deadly intrigue over a death-worshiping sect that wants to prepare the return of the devil. He meets a secret agent in the service of Queen Victoria named Jack Sparks, who has all the physical and mental attributes of Holmes. This story also includes the "Napoleon of Crime" in the person of Jack Sparks' older brother and the possibly fatal fight at the Reichenbach Falls .

In Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders (2007) by Gyles Brandreth, Doyle and his friend Oscar Wilde solve a crime involving a ritual murder. In the crime novel "Die Augen der Heather Grace" (2001, German 2014) by David Pirie, Doyle slips into the role of Watson for his mentor Dr. Joseph Bell (a real person who inspired Doyle to write the Holmes stories, but here she is the "real" Sherlock Holmes, who remains unknown to the public here).

The novel The Sherlockian by Graham Moore (2010, German: "The man who killed Sherlock Holmes", 2019) plays on two levels: On the one hand, the main character, an avowed "Sherlockian", tries to solve a murder in the way Sherlock Holmes worked. The case is based on the true incident surrounding the still unexplained death of Richard Lancelyn Green , one of the most important Sherlock Holmes researchers of the 20th century, in 2004. At the heart of the murder case in the novel is Arthur Conan Doyle's missing diary. The second level of the novel describes the (fictional) incidents and actions of Doyle, which are supposed to be contained in this diary volume: Doyle tries together with his friend Bram Stoker to solve a series of murders in London in the autumn of 1900.

Science fiction and fantasy

Also in the Science Fiction and Fantasy -literature Holmes emerges as a figure. In addition to a collection of various short stories compiled by Isaac Asimov (With Sherlock Holmes through time and space) , Holmes appears in Poul Anderson's book Die Chroniken der Zeitpatrol , as well as in the short story by M. Wellmann (Sherlock Holmes vs. Mars) , in the the invasion of the Martians, which HG Wells describes in The War of the Worlds , is told from the point of view of the detectives. Holmes achieves actual immortality in one of the short stories Asimov collected ( Mack Reynolds : The Adventure with the Extra-Terrestrial ), in which he becomes indispensable in old age for the aliens watching the earth .

Sherlock Holmes - and above all his adversary Dr. Moriarty - also in several episodes of the Star Trek series , with the android Mr. Data slipping into the role of Sherlock Home. There is also an indirect connection between Sherlock Holmes and the half- Vulcan Mr. Spock from the first Star Trek series. In the feature film “The Undiscovered Country” Spock says: “An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” This quote is from Sherlock Holmes, which implies that Spock's mother, die is a human being, is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes.

Another development is the combination of the characters in the Sherlock Holmes canon with the world of Howard Phillips Lovecraft , such as that of Michael Reaves issued and John Pelan anthology Shadows over Baker Street (OT: Shadows over Baker Street ). In nearly twenty stories, Holmes competes against Cthulhu and other mystical beings from Lovecraft's works. Sherlock Holmes also appears in the so-called Virgin New Adventures of the Doctor Who series in a novel, All Consuming Fire , which also deals with the Lovecraft myth.

Dime book

Between 1907 and 1911 a total of 230 groschen books with pastiche stories were published in the Berlin publishing house for folk literature and art. Up to issue 10 the title of the series was Detective Sherlock Holmes and his world-famous adventures , but this title had to be withdrawn for licensing reasons because the Robert-Lutz-Verlag, which owned the rights to the translations of the original stories , had successfully sued. From issue 11 the title was From the secret files of the world detective . Nevertheless, the booklets were allowed to appear with a typical portrait of the title hero on the cover. Holmes didn't have Dr. Watson, but an assistant named Harry Taxon as a companion. This change was not made for copyright reasons. Nevertheless, Watson has brief appearances in some issues (e.g. issue 6). The stories comprised 32 double-columned pages.

More booklet novels followed in 1925 (Harry Taxon and his master) and 1929/1930 (Der Welt-Detektiv) , the latter series now only in small format with shorter texts and a new assistant.

Comic

The comic figure of Nick Knatterton is inspired by Holmes . Its creator Manfred Schmidt , according to his own statements, wanted to parody the American Superman stories, but the appearance and approach of his detective hero are reminiscent of Holmes, as he was mainly seen in German films.

Based on Sherlock Holmes, Conan Edogawa , the title character of the manga crime series Detective Conan by Gosho Aoyama , was created. Conan is not only blessed with almost all the positive qualities of his role model Holmes, he also frequently and gladly quotes him. Last but not least, the name Conan comes from the Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle .

Luc Brunschwig (author) and Christophe Cecil (illustrator) have designed a three-part graphic novel about Sherlock Holmes under the titles Farewell to Baker Street , The Shadow of Doubt and The Woman of Scutari . The original edition in French was published in 2008, the first part was translated into German in 2013 ISBN 978-3-941087-51-4 . In 2014 part 2 was published in German ISBN 978-3-942787-02-4 , part 3 ISBN 978-3-942787-35-2 was published in 2015.

Pastiche on behalf of the Conan Doyle Estate

The Secret of the White Ribbon (OT: The House of Silk ), a novel by Anthony Horowitz published in 2011 , is the first pastiche that was commissioned and approved for content by the Conan Doyle Estate.

Other fiction

In his medieval thriller The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco has an apparently completely out of date monk identified: This monk comes from England, he relies exclusively on systematic observations and logical deductions , whereby he surprises several times by the fact that he observes seemingly unimportant details in complex processes correctly reconstructed. His name is William of Baskerville , a reference on the one hand to the thinker William of Ockham and at the same time to Sherlock Holmes through the allusion to the dog of Baskerville . His adlatus is called Adson (from Melk), the constant phrase “my dear Adson” parodies “my dear Watson”.

Special case: parodies

Stories that can be described as "Sherlock Holmes haters stories" are another category. They are not to be seen as pastiches, but rather as parodies . This had started with Mark Twain's story (A double barreled detective story) as early as 1902. In addition to the Arsène Lupine stories already mentioned, there are 16 volumes about Scotland Yard inspector Sholto Lestrade von, who has always been criticized as an idiot Mention Meirion J. Trow . Here Lestrade is the hero, while Sherlock Holmes, who dies in a mad attack at the Reichenbach Falls , is a completely confused, self-overestimating layman who at best disrupts the police investigation and is idolized by Watson without criticism.
