Join Dr. Brian McCuskey as he takes us back to the year Sherlock Holmes debuted, 1887, and details the cultural conflict between science and religion that shaped the famous detective and his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Reconsidering Holmes in light of Doyle's well-known belief in Victorian spiritualism, McCuskey's new book How Sherlock Pulled the Trick upends popular assumptions about Holmes and offers new perspectives on his relationship to Spiritualism, pseudoscience, and conspiracy thinking. Attend this free lecture January 19 at 7 pm in person at the Minnesota History Center or virtually on Zoom; see event listing for details.
