On the third week of every month, we look at a piece of Sherlockian scholarship in a series we call “Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist.” In this episode, the article “The Effect of Trades on the Body” by Remsen Ten Eyck Schenck from Vol. 3, No. 1 of The Baker Street Journal in 1953 serves as our anchor.
Schenck offers a look at one of the monographs Holmes mentioned in The Sign of Four and proceeds to compare it with medical literature to draw conclusions about Holmes's work. And it's just a Trifle.
Don't miss the bonus material we have for you for this episode on Patreon and Substack.
Find Trifles wherever you listen to podcasts.
