The
Sherlock Webliography
The
following sites were provided to students for further use. Some are
very specific about the material they focus on and others are broad.
If you use one of the full text websites DO NOT attempt to print the
stories. They will take up too much paper which will weigh more than
you. They are in the public domain now and you can download them.
This
list is by no means complete. If you have a suggestion please let
me know and it will be added.
1)
Sherlockian.net
http://www.sherlockian.net/world/index.html
2)
The Sherlock Connection
http://www.bcpl.net/%7Elmoskowi/holmes.html
A large
site full of Sherlockian information and a message board. Very enjoyable
and easy to navigate. It also provides additional links to Sherlock
sites.
3)
Oh, you don’t know Sherlock Holmes yet! : A little of Sherlock
Holmes.
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/4040/sherlock.html
Claims
to be small but is huge and full of information about Holmes and the
adventures. Attractive and offers a detailed physical description
of Holmes. Well organized with further links.
4) Literature.org The On-line Literature Library
http://www.literature.org/authors/doyle-arthur-conan/
Provides full text of every Holmes adventure. Free access. Easy to
navigate. Part of a much larger site.
5) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (a biography)
http://www.sherlockholmesonline.org/biography/index.htm
A site dedicated more to chronicling Doyle’s life than Sherlock.
Useful for background information on the author. It also provides
information on films with Holmes.
6) Holmes Family Tree
http://www.pjfarmer.com/secret/contributors/holmes-family-tree.htm
With the self-explanatory title the site, by Brad Mengel, contains
and extensive list of people believed to be related to Holmes. Interesting
read and I used it in my lesson on family trees.
7) Sherlock Holmes, Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia Article.
http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/S/Sh/Sherlock_Holmes.htm
The home page of this site has an excellent article that summarizes
who Holmes is, how Doyle developed the character. It has individual
entries on other characters. There are also definitions for terminology
that might be confusing to readers. A great entry on Irene Adler.
8)
"Sherlock Says: Oh, you don’t know Sherlock Holmes yet."
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/4040/quote.html
Analysis
provided on Holmes’ traits. There is also a list of quotations
by Holmes that gave readers insight into his character.
9)
"Sherlock Holmes’ Resume."
http://www.magicdragon.com/SherlockHolmes/resumes/Holmes.html
This
is the most comprehensive listing of Sherlock’s abilities and
career achievements in resume format. Will work well with identifying
instances of each trait as students read the stories.
10)
"Quotes From Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes"
http://www.amk.ca/quotations/sherlock-holmes/
If you’re
looking for a specific quotation in one of the stories; look no further.
This is one of the many sites dedicated to it. There are others that
are quite impressive. You’ll find what you want here.
