Listen "36 - Tradesmen in the Canon"
Episode Synopsis
"I was already in debt to my tradesmen" [COPP] With Labor Day just behind us, what do we find in the Sherlock Holmes stories in the ways of the working class? Holmes said that the public could hardly tell "a weaver by his tooth or a compositor by his left thumb," [COPP] as two examples of the working class. Certainly, Sherlock Holmes himself took on the guise of workers, such as "a drunken-looking groom" [SCAN] and "a plumber with a rising business." [MILV] And the Molly Maguires played a role in VALL. What other Canonical tradesmen were we exposed to? Please leave us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice, and consider supporting our efforts through Patreon or PayPal.
