For Benedict Cumberbatch, roles in these films are merely a year’s additions to his already-vast resume. 2013 proved to be the final step in Cumberbatch’s transition from respected working actor to bona fide worldwide celebrity and recipient of BAFTA Los Angeles’ Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year. Like its predecessor, Benedict Cumberbatch, In Transition (MX Publishing, 2013), Benedict Cumberbatch, Transition Completed: Films, Fame, Fans explores the nature of Cumberbatch’s fame and fandom while analysing his most recent roles. This in-depth performance biography does more than critique the actor’s radio, stage, film, and television performances—especially his star turn in the long-awaited yet controversial third series of Sherlock. It also analyses how and why the actor’s work is so memorable in each role, a perspective unique to this performance biography. Cumberbatch’s role in popular culture, as much as his acting in multiple media, is well worth such scrutiny to illustrate that Benedict Cumberbatch represents both the best of acting and of the power of celebrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781780926155 \u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272 \u003cstrong\u003e Author Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lynnette Porter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sherlock Holmes Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18855850630,"sku":"9781780926155","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1251\/0001\/products\/d8a814eb-9e19-4324-800d-4da6cd9b1b9c.jpeg?v=1589635426"},{"product_id":"no-better-place-arthur-conan-doyle-windlesham-and-communication-with-the-other-side-1907-1930","title":"No Better Place: Arthur Conan Doyle, Windlesham and Communication with The Other Side (1907-1930)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlso available from:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/33bNfwV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAmazon USA\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e      \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.strandmag.com\/product\/no-better-place-arthur-conan-doyle-windlesham-and-communication-with-the-other-side-1907-1930-by-alistair-duncan\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Strand Magazine\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e (special offer)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/No-Better-Place-Alistair-Duncan\/9781780927978\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBook Depository\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (free delivery worldwide)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing his second marriage in 1907 Arthur Conan Doyle was looking to the future.

In addition, a few thoroughly researched articles on single aspects of Holmes’ pipes or tobaccos are available. This monograph, in contrast, presents a complete analysis of all pipe smoking references relating to Sherlock Holmes, as given in the fifty-six short stories and four novels of the canon, as well as in its original illustrations. By original illustrations we mean illustrations for first English editions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferences to Holmes’ tobacco consumption using cigarettes, cigars, and snuff tobacco are not discussed. In addition, references to pipe smoking of persons other than Sherlock Holmes in the canon, except for Dr. Watson’s “Arcadia” tobacco mixture which Holmes smoked at least once, are not examined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on the strict definition given above, 62 text references in regard to pipes and 19 text references in regard to tobacco in 42 cases of the canon, as well as 22 original illustrations of 19 cases, have been identified. Our search has been done manually without any computer-aided search tools. However, all references have been double- checked with relevant internet search engines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur analysis of these references is divided into four parts: pipes, tobaccos, place and daily time of smoking. For all references to pipes in the original illustrations showing a sufficient clear picture of a specified pipe, a close existing pipe model is presented. For the reader’s convenience, all pipe-related references in the canon’s text and its original illustrations are listed in the appendix. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTobacco smoking was introduced to England by colonist captains and sailors during the second half of the sixteenth century. They brought with them pipes, tobacco seeds and plants, as well as finished products, thus making tobacco smoking more widely known in English society. Several monographs and articles discussing tobacco smoking can be found in the Victorian era. These treatises on tobacco culture and fashion, also frequently referred to in contemporary popular novels, made tobacco smoking more popular among the growing middle- and lower class in English society. During the historical period in which the Sherlock Holmes tales are set, pipe smoking was already well established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMX Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAugust 19, 2015\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eEdition ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIllustrated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e102 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1780928009\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-1780928005\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6.6 ounces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5.5 x 0.29 x 8.5 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAuthor Name : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThomas Gwinner\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sherlock Holmes Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18855864838,"sku":"9781780928005","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1251\/0001\/products\/44fe40d5-40fc-4593-8818-7598a9edd391.jpeg?v=1589636529"},{"product_id":"a-guide-to-deduction","title":"A Guide To Deduction - The ultimate handbook for any aspiring Sherlock Holmes or Doctor Watson 2nd Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour Other Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Sherlock Holmes Books - A Guide to Deduction\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2PCD8q5\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAmazon USA\u003c\/a\u003e      \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Sherlock Holmes Books - A Guide to Deduction\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2RNtofs\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2RNtofs\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmazon UK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Sherlock Holmes Books - A Guide to Deduction\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/a-guide-to-deduction-hannah-rogers\/1122930329?ean=9781787052390\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e      \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2PCD8q5\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2PCD8q5\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKindle\u003c\/a\u003e      \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/B073RSVM3M\/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-090250\u0026amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_090250_rh_us\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/B073RSVM3M\/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-090250\u0026amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_090250_rh_us\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAudio\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e     \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout This Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpdated and Revised 2nd edition.

Presiding over the comings and goings at 221B Baker Street, she saw many clients, villains and Baker Street irregulars during the tenancy of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. This series of columns, thoughts, recipes and memoirs are from a long-running column in the Sherlockian journal, Canadian Holmes. In it the author, Wendy Heyman-Marsaw, puts herself in Mrs. Hudson’s shoes, up and down the 17 steps and recounts not only the time and era but the food, dining and eating habits of Victorian England. This book explores the meals Mrs. Hudson would have prepared and served her two famous lodgers, what food they would have had while on rail journeys or eating at hotels around London or inns around England. You will also learn about Mrs. Hudson herself, her husband and even her views towards women’s roles and rights in Victorian times.

Those who know Cumberbatch primarily because of his award-winning star turn as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC’s Sherlock know only a fraction of the actor’s noteworthy professional history, including such critically acclaimed roles as, on television, Hawking, Small Island, To the Ends of the Earth, Parade’s End, and The Hollow Crown; on stage, Hedda Gabler, After the Dance, Frankenstein, and Hamlet; on radio, Cabin Pressure and Neverwhere; and on film, Atonement, War Horse, Star Trek: Into Darkness, and The Imitation Game. Whether starring on television, stage, or radio in home base London or filming a Hollywood production, Benedict Cumberbatch continues to choose interesting roles that cement his A-list status. His career is not without occasional controversy, but, like those he admires most in London or Hollywood, he has become savvy about the entertainment industry.

The mention of Steele also links us nicely in with the Actor William Gillette, so we have a section about this man, who personified Sherlock Holmes for a generation and inspired the likeness Steele used in his illustration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo what is in this book, well we have a very cosmopolitan collections from artist from France, Ireland, America, Spain, \u0026amp; Britain, starting with Beeton's Christmas Annual of 1887, the publication which first introduced the World to Holmes or is that Holmes to the World? This is our first cover image as befits it's importance, then we have a rather pleasing front cover by French artist, André Galland, who sadly only ever did one illustration of Holmes. More covers follow from another French artist, namely Gaston Simoes da Fonseca, sorry we will have to split Fonseca's work over two volumes, because he only did 3 colour (shown here) and 128 monochrome images so he will be the featured artist in the next volume, think of his three colour images, here as an introduction to his main body of work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is a short introduction to the English Artist Pamela Colman Smith and the Irish Illustrator Albert George Morrow before we come to the William Gillette section, with posters for his play and film and also a programme.

Next we have a 1920s Joanquin Coll Salieti series of 40 cards that illustrated 3 Sherlock Holmes stories, Spanish text with an English translation. To round out the card section, we have a non-card, a beer mat, for the what was once a Whitbread Sherlock Holmes pub, but is now owned by Greene King. In 1933 Player's produced 25 characters from fiction cigarette cards set. We only include card number 21, Sherlock Holmes. Nearing the end of this volume we have 4 images by Wladyslaw Teodor (WT) Brenda.

This is a very eclectic  mix of talent and draws heavily on French Illustrators and so within our major artist is Brazilian-born French illustrator Gaston de Forseca and his remaining 128 images to complete his Sherlock Holmes work. Some of his illustrations are not particularly flattering (Lord Robert St. Simon) or where of incidents that are referred to in back stories (Apache attack on Frank Moulton) or of people who are mentions in passing (Francis Prosper) or my favourite little Edward Rucastle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext we have 100 illustrations from Czech born Josef Freidrich and while his drawings may remind you of similar scenes from Sidney Paget, they are different, as if they were taken from a different camera angle.

It also gives a historical perspective on the Victorian understanding of the diseases, using the textbooks Conan Doyle would very likely have had sitting on his consulting room shelves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor: Nick Howlett\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 418\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9781804242384\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDate: 28th September 2023 (pre-publication copies available from this site delivered by August)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardcover (also available in \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mxpublishing.com\/products\/the-medical-casebook-of-sherlock-holmes-and-doctor-watson-paperback\" target=\"_blank\"\u003epaperback\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sherlock Holmes Books by MX Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40843936628851,"sku":"9781804242384","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1251\/0001\/files\/9781804242391large_82488f69-d123-4272-a033-6e32fd7d80a6.jpg?v=1687694430"},{"product_id":"jeremy-brett-is-sherlock-holmes-digital-edition","title":"Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes - Digital Edition","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYour Other Options:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dBLs4W\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAmazon USA\u003c\/a\u003e     \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3nVFaSy\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAmazon UK\u003c\/a\u003e      \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3imd6ql\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAudio\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Holmes could be rude, impatient, abrupt, and his intolerance of fools was legendary.

More covers follow from another French artist, namely Gaston Simoes da Fonseca, sorry we will have to split Fonseca's work over two volumes, because he only did 3 colour (shown here) and 128 monochrome images so he will be the featured artist in the next volume, think of his three colour images, here as an introduction to his main body of work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is a short introduction to the English Artist Pamela Colman Smith and the Irish Illustrator Albert George Morrow before we come to the William Gillette section, with posters for his play and film and also a programme.

Next we have a 1920s Joanquin Coll Salieti series of 40 cards that illustrated 3 Sherlock Holmes stories, Spanish text with an English translation.
