Sherlock Holmes: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Sherlock Holmes" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

As a hero of popular culture and an established literary figure, Sherlock Holmes has become the benchmark by which new detectives and mysteries are judged. The essays in Sherlock Holmes: Victorian Sleuth to Modern Hero offer insights on Sir Arthur Conan Doyles treatment of urbanization, the advent of the information age, and the work ethic; they also illuminate how later literature compares with the original Sherlock Holmes books thematically and stylistically. From the original model for Sherlock Holmes to the characters portrayal on film, from analysis of the role of masculine power in the texts to analysis of the female rivals of Holmes, this book traces the ever-increasing variety of perspectives on Holmes and the way the original character has been adapted and re-envisioned.

Dedicated to the Memory of
John C. Swan Holmesian, Librarian, Civil Libertarian and Friend
John Swan, a charter member of the Baker Street Breakfast Club,
was instrumental in the concept, design and execution
of the June, 1994, conference, "Sherlock Holmes: Victorian
Sleuth to Modern Hero." He shared many qualities with
Holmes, not the least of which were curiosity, strong opinions,
a concern for those in need and a love of the violin. John
Swan died, at age 48, several months before the conference.
He was with us then, and remains with us in this book.
