Murder in His Eyes: Sherlock Holmes and Panoptic Power

Rating:
Summary: Author's note
Review: I am the author of the book and this is the blurb. I am not going to evaluate my book, I am just writing the blurb so that the potential buyer will have a glimpse of what it is about. Basically it is a literary-philosophical-semiotic appreciation of the character of Sherlock Holmes and the revolution this fictional persona brought to the detective genre. The book is the development of my Ph.D. thesis by the same title.

Blurb
This study of Sherlock Holmes and panoptic power will intrigue both fans of the Holmes canon and anyone interested in the history of crime literature and how such a character has captured the imagination of countless generations. Dr Michael Plakotaris has succeeded in bringing together the most authoritative works on the matter to create a revealing insight into one of the most prominent figures of English literature. From comparisons between Holmes and his creator to studies of his Nietzschean personality, his panoptic-semiotic modus operandi and his successful relationship with Watson, we begin to understand the components used that created this astounding success in Victorian literature
