As of this year, all of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels and short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes are in the public domain. That gives creatives more license to tell their own stories about the character.
In the Moment revisits a conversation we had with Augustana University's English professor Darcie Rives-East, Ph.D. She discussed the detective's difficult journey out of copyright and how every era features its own version of the sleuth.
