Brian Clark Presents: The Adventure of Abbey Grange
Brian Clark’s John Openshaw Society presentation on The Adventure of Abbey Grange explores both the narrative and historical context of the Sherlock Holmes story. He discusses the publication history, noting its first appearance in 1904 and its subsequent translations and reprints across the globe. Brian examines the characters and setting, focusing on Holmes’s moral flexibility in delivering justice, especially in letting Captain Crocker go free despite his guilt in Sir Eustace’s death. He also delves into period details like port wine’s “beeswing” and the Swiss Army knife, which help anchor the tale in its late Victorian setting.
