Abstract

In the second half of the twentieth century, American readers of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories - known as Sherlockians - worked together to create a 'world of Sherlock Holmes' that crossed the boundary between reality and fiction. This book applies an innovative literary-geographical lens, informed both by geographical theories of spatiality as a process and literary scholarship on readers' active roles in making stories happen, to define the contours of a world in which the ontological boundaries ordinarily assumed between the actual and the fictional bend, blur and break.
