This engaging study uses a scholarly approach, combining close reading with historicism, to read the stories afresh, sceptically probing Dr Watson's narratives and Holmes's often barely credible solutions. Drawing on Victorian and Edwardian history, Conan Doyle's life and works, and Doyle's literary sources, the book offers new insights into the Holmes stories and reveals what they say about money, class, family, sex, race, war, and secrecy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew insights into the ever-popular Holmes stories\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew contexts for late-Victorian and Edwardian detective fiction, from forgotten scandals to the social controversies of the age\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA literary-critical approach to these popular works that is both scholarly and accessible\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Glazzard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474431291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474431293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Andrew Glazzard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052843462911,"sku":"9781474431293","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9976415a-9428-4c43-aeaa-71908dbc000e.jpg?v=1685021030","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-case-of-sherlock-holmes-andrew-glazzard-9781474431293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
