Sherlock Mondays: The Hound of the Baskervilles Ep 6 with Scott Monty

From May 6-June 24, 2024, we streamed a live mini-series on The Hound of the Baskervilles. This was a paid subscriber series, but now we release it for everyone to watch free. When Arthur Conan Doyle wrote “The Final Problem,” he had no intention of continuing to create more adventures for his detective. However, his readers (including his own mother) wanted more, so he resurrected Sherlock and Watson for an investigation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, a nine-part monthly serial in The Strand Magazine. Join us as we take a Biblioventure to Dartmoor where a strange diabolical hound haunts the moors, preying upon the heirs of Baskerville Hall. What will the logically reasoning Sherlock Holmes do when faced with a supernatural creature? We’ll condense the story slightly into eight weekly episodes. Host Edward G. Pettit and a rotating group of cohosts (Meet the Cohosts) will have a conversational annotation about each story, providing context and insight about Doyle and his Hound. The Rosenbach holds in its collection first editions of some of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes books, including The Hound of the Baskervilles, as well as the handwritten manuscript of “The Adventure of the Empty House.” Our founder Dr. Rosenbach was deeply committed to mystery and crime literature, corresponded with the famous Sherlockian and founder of the Baker Street Irregulars, Christopher Morley, and once purchased Doyle’s personal crime library.
