The Secret Marriage Of Sherlock Holmes Is About Reading, A Process That We Take For Granted. But Sherlock Holmes, The Cultural Icon To Whose Exploits Michael Atkinson Gives New Readings, Became Famous By Taking Nothing For Granted. Holmes'S Adventures Can Be Read In New Ways, Including Ways That He Himself Would Have Found Startling, But Which Can Give Contemporary Readers Satisfaction. In Clear, Accessible Prose That Will Engage Specialists And Lay Readers Alike, Atkinson Engages In 'A Series Of Flirtations' With Nine Of Arthur Conan Doyle'S Favorite Detective Fictions, Using The Tools Of Modern Literary Theory, From Depth Psychology To Deconstruction. Bluebeard, The Kundalini Serpent, And Conan Doyle'S Mother Pop Up Alongside Jung, Nietzsche, And Derrida As Guides To New Understandings Of These Classic Stories. Just As Holmes Uses Treatises On Tobacco Ash And Tattoos To Give Fresh Readings To Puzzling Facts, Atkinson Employs Widely Different Critical Strategies To Unravel The Mysteries Of Reading Itself.'What A Delightful Book! This Is Surely The Most Interesting Writing You Will Ever Read About Sherlock Holmes, But It Is Much More. Michael Atkinson Gives Us Literary Criticism At Its Best: The Sheer Fun Of Watching A Bold And Imaginative Reader Breathe Into Wellloved, But Wellworn, Fictions New And Enchanting Life.
