In this episode I'm joined by Dr Dominique Gracia, who had worked on repetitions and revisions, and adaptation theory. We discuss the influence of Sherlock Holmes on modern TV detectives in series such as Sherlock and Vienna Blood. We observe the ways in which we see works through adaptations, and how neo-Victorian works may influence how we think or perceive the nineteenth century. We also discuss hidden stories about Victorian female detectives, and how Holmes' legacy persists today.

About my guest: Dominique is an independent scholar who’s currently Chief of Staff for the Director of UCL’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Her research focuses on repetitions and revisions, from Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s double-works to the pot-boiling of popular fiction. Her most recent publications focus on early female detectives and Sherlock Holmes’ influence on modern TV detectives, and she is currently writing a collection of Neo-Victorian short stories featuring a Welsh female detective in East London.
