Live video lecture on Sherlock Holmes and science fiction.

Tony from StarShipSofa sez, "What does the world's only consulting detective have to do with science fiction you may ask? What was the relationship of his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to the genre? Why have so many science fiction authors since Doyle found ways to incorporate Holmes into their works? What is the unique history between Holmes's world and H.P. Lovecraft's? In what ways has Holmes been recreated and reimagined via science fiction over the years? What is it about Holmes that makes him so at home — and popular! — in the 21st century? Join myself and award-winning genre scholar Amy H. Sturgis live as she investigates Sherlock Holmes then and now through a science fictional lens."
