Arthur Conan Doyle’s groundbreaking novel, A Study in Scarlet, introduced the world to the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. Watson. Written in a remarkable span of less than three weeks when Doyle was just 27, this captivating tale was initially titled A Tangled Skein and faced multiple rejections before finally finding its home in the November 1887 issue of Beeton’s Christmas Annual, an obscure British magazine now famous for debuting Holmes. The novel gained further prominence with the subsequent release of “A Scandal in Bohemia” in The Strand Magazine in 1891, solidifying Holmes status as a cultural icon. Over the years, A Study in Scarlet has been published in numerous editions and translations, inspiring countless authors and adaptations across various media, including comics, radio, film, and stage productions. The first film adaptations in 1914—one British, one American—are now considered lost, with the British version being recognized as one of the 75 most wanted films for preservation by the British Film Institute. While the novel has sparked controversy over its portrayal of early Mormons, Doyle defended these depictions as historical during his visit to Utah in 1923. The lasting legacy of A Study in Scarlet is evident in the iconic imagery of detectives wielding magnifying glasses, a trope that originated with this pioneering work.
