View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/who-is-sherlock-holmes-neil-mccaw More than a century after first emerging into the fogbound, gaslit streets of Victorian London, Sherlock Holmes is universally recognizable. And yet many of his most recognizable features don t appear in Arthur Conan Doyle s original stories. So who exactly is Sherlock Holmes? Who s the real "great detective," and where do we find him? Neil McCaw traces the evolution of Sherlock. Lesson by Neil McCaw, animation by Lasse Rützou Bruntse.
