I wonder if the Victorians were as fundamentally devastated when they read Sherlock Holmes saying that you never see a sober mans fob watch with scrapes around the wind up keyhole and you'll never see a drunks without them.

I wonder if they ever sleepily remembered to wind up their fob watch and struggled only to think "by god, Mr. Holmes would declare me a drunkard upon seeing this."

Because even now, 9 years later, I STILL think about the fact that Sherlock would call me an alcoholic for missing my charger port.

No: I am not tired. I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely.

WHY IS THE SHERLOCK FANDOM OBSESSED WITH 1895?

1. 221b Poem

If you’re a part of the Sherlock fandom, which if you’re reading this, there’s a high chance you are… then you’ve probably heard a lot of people mention something along the lines of: “It is always 1895”. This line actually originates from a poem named ‘221b’ by the poet Vincent Starret.

After extensive research, the year of 1895 does not prove significant to this specific poem other than it was the years of childhood for Vincent himself, when perhaps he read Sherlock Holmes? Though this was one year following the published ‘Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes’ in which ‘The Final Problem’ took place as Sherlock fell to his “death” at the Falls Of Reichenbach so I struggle to see the significance myself. (please comment if you know)

In the modern day, the last line of that poem however has come to represent the repression of the Baker Street Boys in that they will never be able to outwardly homosexual because it’s 1895 and it’s against the law.

2. THE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE

Some of you may also recognise the date of 1895 to coincide with The Trials Of Oscar Wilde- who was an Irish poet and playwright, sentenced for ‘gross indecency’ (acts of homosexuality).

Now this is all relevant when taking into account Doyles relation to Wilde. In 1889, both Arthur and Oscar were invited to dinner at the Langham Hotel in London with a publisher for the Lippincott magazine. The two authors were very fond of each other and Doyle later wrote that Doyle complimented his lesser known work which definitely would have gotten the Irish poet in The Scotts good books.

After the Trials, Doyle wrote that it should have been a matter for the hospital, not prison. Considering the stigma around homosexuality in the 19th century, to say this would have been very progressive and quite a risk as well. It’s clear Doyle liked Wilde which, for the Sherlock fandom, creates hope that perhaps Conan Doyle did purposely sub-textually make johnlock canon.

More significantly perhaps to this, is Doyles possible link to The trials in his own Sherlock short story, The three students, which begins with:

What makes this more bizarre, is the fact that due to the time at which the story is set, John and Sherlock had to spend time apart… to what? Avoid suspicion? Why are the suspicious?

3. BBC SHERLOCK

BBC Sherlock mentions the year 1895 a lot. Whether that be Johns blog stuck at the number or the time setting for The Abominable Bride, it is definitely not a coincidence that Mark and Steven chose these dates as extended metaphors to tell us that “It is always 1895” even in 2010.

Firstly Johns blog:

In ‘A scandal In Belgravia’, John complains that his blog counter has been stuck on 1895 throughout Christmas and later on, Sherlock believes the blog has been hacked as a message to tell him the password to Irenes phone.

Now, the fact that Johns blog is stuck at 1895 is very telling in that Moffitss want us to understand that, although we are in modern times, for Sherlock and John, feelings between them are still repressed as if it were 1895. We see that Sherlock is quite angered by the blog being stuck at this number which could correlate with the fact that he does not want to hide his feelings towards John anymore due to stigma.

Secondly, the abominable bride, which Steven Moffat stated was very importantly set in 1895 for some bizarre reason… because it doesn’t come into the plot. The Abominable Bride is described by many as Sherlocks gay fever dream, quite understandably.

Although the year 1895 doesn’t directly appear to be of much importance, the ideas revolving Sherlocks sexual life certainly does. Sherlock and John share an… interesting conversation IN A GREENHOUSE on the topic of Sherlocks sexual urges, keep in mind that this is all in Sherlocks head. This is interesting because it means that Sherlock wants John to question him in real life and to start that conversation with him. (the exaggeration of “greenhouse” referring to the metaphor that they are not hidden as the walls are glass, they are open to each other and to the world.)

At the end of the episode, Sherlock stands melancholy like at the window, looking out longingly as the world around 221b progresses in age, but, for the Baker Steer boys, “it is always 1895.”

The dramatic writer must understand and sympathise with all classes.

- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

There are many reasons why Sherlocks Holmes is as famous as he is. But one of the overlooked things in the writings of Conan Doyle is empathy for people of whatever station in the tumultous times that Conan Doyle was living through.
