THE CASE-BOOK OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
内容简介
歇洛克·福尔摩斯（Sherlock Holmes）是一个虚构的侦探人物，是由19世纪末的英国侦探小说家阿瑟·柯南·道尔所塑造的一个非常聪明的侦探形象。福尔摩斯自己称自己是一名“咨询侦探”，也就是说当其他私人或官方侦探遇到困难时常常向他求救。故事透露福尔摩斯经常能够足不出户就可以解决很多疑难问题，但是大部分故事都集中讲述一些比较困难、需要福尔摩斯出门调查的案子。福尔摩斯善于通过观察与演绎法来解决问题。柯南·道尔是从自己就读的爱丁堡大学一名善于观察的老师的身上获得灵感，创造了福尔摩斯这一人物的。
Book Description
Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
In The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes we read the last twelve stories Conan Doyle was to write about Holmes and Watson. They reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920's in which they were written, and he can be seen to take advantage of new, more open conventions in fiction. Suicide as a murder weapon and homosexual incest are some of the psychological tragedies whose consequences are unravelled by the mind of Holmes before the eyes of Watson.
That said, the collection also includes some of the best turns of wit in the series, and indeed in the whole of English literature.
The editor of this volume, W.W. Robson, is Emeritus David Masson, Professor of English Literature at the University of Edinburgh and the author of Modern English Literature.
The general editor of the Oxford Sherlock Holmes, Owen Dudley Edwards, is Reader in History at the University of Edinburgh and author of The Quest for Sherlock Holmes. A Biographical Study of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
