There is actually a book examining Sherlock Holmes and the issue of masculinity, it's called 'Arthur Conan Doyle and the Meaning of Masculinity' by Diana Barsham. There's also a book called 'Sherlock's Men: Masculinity, Conan Doyle and Cultural History' by Joseph A Kestner. I've only got the one by Diana Barsham and this is one of the quotes from her chapter on how Doyle's canon of work was essentially his autobiography as he used them to lay out his views...anyway, the quote "Holmes, in Doyle's account, was a figure of composite masculine achievement."

From the description of the book: "Situating Doyle's writing within the biographical traditions of the nineteenth century to which Dr John H Watson contributed his memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, this book charts the stages of Doyle's determined to become a great name in the culture of the day."

Mind you, there is also a book which argues that Sherlock Holmes was a woman, who experienced at least two pregnancies during the canon and that Holmes's moods were because she was on her period. BTW, this a serious book not a joke. It's called 'Ms Holmes of Baker Street' and is by Alan C. Bradley and William A. S. Sarjeant.

There's also an author who claimed 'The Red Headed League' is all about the prevention of gay rape...the book he puts forth this argument is called 'Naked is the Best Disguise' (published in the 70s) and is by Samuel Rosenberg.
