The Return Of Sherlock Holmes (Oxford World’s Classics) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Oxford World's Classics Made up of the thirteen stories that delivered Sherlock Holmes' return after his 'death' at the Reichbach Falls The stories hark back to earlier tales while pushing Holmes in new directions - his deductions are less self-assured and, whereas earlier stories had largely avoided sensationalism, the stories of The Return are more visceral and bloody Part of a set of new, refreshed editions of all Sherlock Holmes stories New to this Edition: A new introduction considers how The Return marks a new kind of self-reflexivity in the Holmes stories, with Doyle now consciously writing for a body of established Holmes 'fans' Updated bibliography surveys the substantial expansion of Doyle studies in recent years New critical notes explain more obscure terminology, draw attention to literary references, and elucidate the contemporary scientific and criminological contexts
