About This Item

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.VG/VG.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj.Title page slightly water stained and aged as are fore-edges,but text unaffected internally.Creased,slightly chipped,small closed tears head+foot of dw/dj's spine/backstrip.Top+bottom dw/dj edges slightly creased.8vo,203pp includes index. Sherlock Holmes,fictional masterpiece of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,has been cherished by generations of readers throughout the world and continues to inspire new legions of devotees.That this legendary character should yield and new and unexpected riches is the staggering accomplishment of Samuel Rosenberg,a literary detective whose surprising discoveries about the work of Mary Shelley,Melville and others have gained wide literary attention. Rosenberg now reveals Sir Arthur as a brilliant allegorist who in his Holme's mysteries left 'purloined letter' allusions not only the characters throughout literature but to real-life figures as well.Could it really be that behind Professor Moriarty lurked Friedrich Nietzsche? That Irene Adler disguised none other than George Sand - the legendary Madame Dudevant,authoress and transvestite? The book reads like a detective story itself as the author encounters people who knew Doyle and who turned up in his stories: unravels clue after clue about Sir Arthur himself, and discovers the real meaning behind Sherlock Holme's mysteries.
