Doyle returned to Holmes in 1901-2 with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a novel set before the events of 'The Final Problem' the commercial success of the serialisation in the Strand led Doyle to consider reviving the Holmes stories on a longer-term basis. While the outcry that supposedly followed Holmes' death was mostly apocryphal (the claim that readers wore black armbands in mourning has been frequently cited but never actually proved), by 1893 there was a substantial readership for Holmes' two series of adventures published in the Strand Magazine and two earlier novels.
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'.Part of a set of new, refreshed editions of all Sherlock Holmes stories.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.Made up of the thirteen stories that delivered Sherlock Holmes' return after his 'death' at the Reichbach Falls.The Return of Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan DoyleĮdited by Christopher Pittard and Darryl Jones Oxford World's Classics Oxford Research Encyclopedias: Global Public Health.The European Society of Cardiology Series.
