Book Overview

This is a study of the Sherlock Holmes canon: it is a detailed social history, a consideration of Doyle's new genre of detective fiction as a response to the scientific rationalism of the late 19th century. For the first time in the history of English literature readers have been given a moral agent, in the form of Mr Holmes, who can actually prove that he is right.
