Introduction

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 1 –16

[Keith Ducklin strides onto the stage, darkly clad in Victorian garb. He looks every inch the gentleman about town. As he tells us, he is about to give his friend Rob Temple a few lessons in an exciting new style of self-defence. But Rob is already feeling the heat inside his tweed jacket and...

Foreign Crimes Hit British Shores

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 19 –27

[The story of England’s mid-Victorian moral panic of garotting began with the gruesome death of an insurrectionist in Havana on 1 September 1851, thousands of miles from Britain. An anti-Spanish filibuster, General Narciso Lopez, had invaded the island in the summer of that year with the...

The Ticket-of-Leave Man

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 28 –40

[A poem that appeared in Punch in December 1862 entitled ‘The Song of the Garotter’ expresses the way in which garotting was equated with underhand thuggee: H, meet me by moonlight alone,And then I will give you the hug,With my arm round your neck tightly thrown,I’m as up to the work as a Thug.]

Tooled Up: The Pedestrian’s Armoury

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 41 –57

[‘I, for one, deem it incumbent on me to protect myself in the best way that I can.’ This bold statement of intent appeared in ‘War to Garotters’, a rousingly titled piece which was published in The Times in 1856, written by ‘An Antigarotter’. Furthermore, in an article which appeared in The...

Threats from Above and Below

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 61 –76

[Phineas Finn was first serialized from 1867 to 1869 in Saint Paul’s Magazine, a publication which reflected the male-orientated interests of City professionals and was edited by Anthony Trollope himself.1 It then appeared as a novel in 1869. Phineas Finn is the second in the ‘Palliser’ series...

Lord Chiltern and Mr Kennedy

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 77 –93

[One can readily imagine the satisfaction of the reviewer of the Spectator when he or she cast their eyes over the pages of Phineas Finn. ‘Kennedy is as perfectly sketched as Chiltern’, the review exclaimed.1 Polar opposites in character, the lord and laird certainly invite comparison,...

Phineas Redux

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 94 –111

[As Halperin argues, Phineas Redux ‘reads well even without Phineas Finn in mind’.1 This is correct; however, the novel also functions as the double of Phineas Finn, mirroring its plot in darker shades. In this sequel we see a change in Finn’s manner. His initiation into violent and outmoded...

Exotic Enemies

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 115 –127

[The Holmes canon is redolent of late-nineteenth-century preoccupations with acts of brutality committed not merely by lower-class street ruffians but by higher classes, mainly middle-class professionals. In ‘ASB’, Doyle warns that violence literally and metaphorically ‘recoil[s] upon the...

Urban Knights in the London Streets

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 128 –146

[In the opening article to his new publication of 1898, Sandow’s Magazine, the German bodybuilder Eugen Sandow linked physical and mental self-sufficiency with racial regeneration. He argued in 1898 that the aim of physical culture was to ‘raise the average standard of the race as a whole’ and to...

Foreign Friends

Godfrey, Emelyne

Pages: 147 –159

[A bronze statue of Sherlock Holmes stands outside Karuizawa Town, near Tokyo. It was built in 1988 by the Japan Sherlock Holmes Club, a successful society founded in 1977. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in Japan in 1894 in an edited version of ‘The Man with the Twisted Lip’, published in the...
