More About This Book

Overview

The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:

  • New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars
  • Biographies of the authors
  • Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events
  • Footnotes and endnotes
  • Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work
  • Comments by other famous authors

  • Indices & Glossaries, when appropriate
All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes comprises four novels and fifty-six short stories revolving around the world’s most popular and influential fictional detective—the eccentric, arrogant, and ingenious Sherlock Holmes. He and his trusted friend, Dr. Watson, step from Holmes’s comfortable quarters at 221b Baker Street into the swirling fog of Victorian London to exercise that unique combination of detailed observation, vast knowledge, and brilliant deduction. Inevitably, Holmes rescues the innocent, confounds the guilty, and solves the most perplexing puzzles known to literature.

Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes starts with Holmes’s first appearance, A Study in Scarlet, a chilling murder novel complete with bloodstained walls and cryptic clues, followed by the baffling The Sign of Four, which introduces Holmes’s cocaine problem and Watson’s future wife. The story collections The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes feature such renowned tales as “A Scandal in Bohemia,” “The Red-Headed League,” and “The Musgrave Ritual.”

Tired of writing stories about Holmes, his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, killed him off at the end of “The Final Problem,” the last tale in The Memoirs. But the public outcry was so great that eight years later he published the masterful The Hound of the Baskervilles, which supposedly takes place before Holmes’s death.

The separate Volume II of The Complete Sherlock Holmes collects the remaining accounts of Holmes’s exploits, including “The Adventure of the Empty House,” which reveals the elaborate circumstances behind Holmes’s literary resurrection.

Kyle Freeman, a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast for many years, earned two graduate degrees in English literature from Columbia University, where his major was twentieth-century British literature.

Meet the Author

Arthur Conan Doyle
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was both a doctor and a believer in spirits, which may partly explain why his Sherlock Holmes is one of literature's most beloved detectives: Holmes always approaches his cases with the gentility and logic of a scientist, but the stories are suffused with an aura of the supernatural. Narrated by devoted assistant Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes's adventures were so addictive that fans protested the master deducer's "death" in 1893 and Doyle had to resurrect him.

Biography

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. After nine years in Jesuit schools, he went to Edinburgh University, receiving a degree in medicine in 1881. He then became an eye specialist in Southsea, with a distressing lack of success. Hoping to augment his income, he wrote his first story, A Study in Scarlet. His detective, Sherlock Holmes, was modeled in part after Dr. Joseph Bell of the Edinburgh Infirmary, a man with spectacular powers of observation, analysis, and inference. Conan Doyle may have been influenced also by his admiration for the neat plots of Gaboriau and for Poe's detective, M. Dupin. After several rejections, the story was sold to a British publisher for £25, and thus was born the world's best-known and most-loved fictional detective. Fifty-nine more Sherlock Holmes adventures followed.

Once, wearying of Holmes, his creator killed him off, but was forced by popular demand to resurrect him. Sir Arthur -- he had been knighted for this defense of the British cause in his The Great Boer War -- became an ardent Spiritualist after the death of his son Kingsley, who had been wounded at the Somme in World War I. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in Sussex in 1930.

Read an Excerpt

From Kyle Freeman’s Introduction to The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I

Arthur Conan Doyle began writing A Study in Scarlet in 1886 while waiting for patients in his newly furnished doctor’s office in Southsea, Portsmouth. He sent it to what seemed like every publisher in England before it was finally accepted by a small firm called Ward, Lock & Co. He was paid a one-time sum of £25, relinquishing all other rights to the publisher. The company thought it would be most effective in one of its big holiday issues, Beeton’s Christmas Annual, so Conan Doyle had to wait nearly a year before seeing it in print in December 1887. Thus after this long and uncertain gestation the world finally saw the birth of the resplendent career of the character who would become the greatest literary detective, Sherlock Holmes.

Conan Doyle got the idea for a detective story from the acknowledged creators of the genre. Edgar Allan Poe had written three short stories featuring Parisian sleuth C. Auguste Dupin: “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “The Mystery of Marie Rogêt,” and “The Purloined Letter.” Conan Doyle lifted so much detail from Poe that he seemed a plagiarist to some. He took several key components from Dupin. Holmes, like Dupin, is a prodigious pipe smoker. He also places ads in the newspaper to lure the perpetrator of the crime to his apartment. He goes to the scene of the crime to find clues the police had overlooked. Yet another component borrowed from Dupin was his trick of breaking in on his companion’s thought process by guessing the links in his train of thought. Ironically, Holmes complains in this first story that this habit of Dupin annoys him, but apparently not as much as he claims, as he adopts it himself in two later stories. Most important, like Poe, Conan Doyle decided to give his detective a companion to narrate the case.

Such a narrator provides several advantages. He can frame the story more dramatically than the detective could because the companion is in the dark about the outcome. He therefore can sustain suspense and share his surprise with us when the mystery is solved. The narrator also has the freedom to glorify his friend, something the detective as narrator couldn’t do for himself without suffering the inevitable backlash from readers who don’t usually take kindly to braggarts.

Conan Doyle also borrowed from the work of Émile Gaboriau, a Frenchman who wrote the first police novels. His Inspector Lecoq uses scientific methods to build a solid case against the criminal piece by piece. Holmes’s scientific method owes the most to this source. Gaboriau also divides his novels into two equal parts, with flashbacks to prior action, a device Conan Doyle copied in the first two Holmes novels. Conan Doyle based Holmes’s deductive process—lightning quick and seemingly intuitive, though informed by careful observation of detail and mountains of precise knowledge—on Conan Doyle’s teacher at the medical school at Edinburgh, Dr. Joseph Bell.

Once embarked on the process of stirring all these ingredients together, Conan Doyle had to choose a name for his detective. The first he chose was J. Sherrinford Holmes, then Sherrington Hope, and finally the one we know today. We don’t know where he got the name Sherlock, but we can be sure that the last name was a tribute to Oliver Wendell Holmes, the American physician and author, father of the great U.S. Supreme Court justice of the same name. Conan Doyle had read and greatly admired his work, saying of him, “Never have I so known and loved a man whom I had never seen.” On his first trip to America Conan Doyle made a reverential visit to the author’s grave.

A Study in Scarlet introduces the formula that almost all the other Holmes stories will follow. Someone seeks out the detective at his Baker Street rooms to solve an unusual mystery. Holmes and Watson then set out to explore the scene of the mystery. The police are often involved, but of course they never have a clue. After an adventure or two that builds suspense, Holmes solves the case in the most dramatic way. The two investigators end up back at Baker Street, where Holmes explains any point in his chain of reasoning that might have escaped Watson’s understanding, and all’s once again right with the world. Doyle varies this formula in minor ways in a few of the stories in this first volume, but not often. (He will cleverly foil our expectations of this pattern in later stories.) This plot repetition, which might seem a weakness, turns out to be a strength. It contributes to that sense of solidness we get from this world in which logic triumphs over superstition, and where justice in one form or another is meted out to violators of the social order. The sense of order that runs through this world is one of the great satisfactions of these stories. No matter how bizarre the circumstances, Holmes will tender a rational explanation for everything. Criminals are caught not because they make a fatal error, but because all human actions, good and bad, leave traces behind. If you pay close enough attention to the causative chain of events in everyday life, and you’ve trained yourself to think logically, you’ll be able to follow that chain when someone has committed a crime.

    The Best Book I've Ever Read

    I have read a lot of books in my life, but nothing even comes close to Sherlock Holmes. It is without a doubt the best book I have ever read. The way Sherlock's mind works blows me away. When he makes his deductions, I can't figure out how he could have possibly gotten all of that information just from that little piece of evidence. But then, he explains it all and it makes perfect sense and I don't know how I didn't see that in the first place. Sherlock has a very good sense of humor, too. He's sarcastic, like myself, and I always find myself laughing out loud. The cases he works on are sometimes very dark, so without his humor to lighten things up, it would be very dreary indeed. The mysteries he gets involved in are very dramatic and thrilling. It's so suspenseful and fun to read, I can't put it down. Sherlock and Watson have a funny relationship, too. The two of them together crack me up. They are very different, but they are the perfect team when they work together. I saw the movie and I loved it. Afterwards, I instantly wanted to read the books. I hope they make more movies, because Robert Downey Jr. was amazing in it, and same with Jude Law. If you haven't seen the movie, you have to go see it right now. And after, pick up a copy of Sherlock Holmes and start reading. You won't regret it!

    Classic reading

    The writings of Sir Doyle are classic. Sherlock Homes is a great character for his time. What I liked best about this volume was the history of Sir Doyle. I also like at the end of the volume the extra information about the book from a variety of people. Very interesting book. You have to like classics to read this one, there are many dry spots. whats great is to see what people were reading long before I was born and how different writing was from todays novels. Download and read.

    Excellent Content;Book Construction Questionable

    Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock Holmes, if you enjoy these classic stories, you will enjoy this collection. However, the book itself looks strange. The pages are cut roughly and don't really line up. Maybe that's standard on B&N classics but I didn't like that feature

    This is a great collection of stories. Most of the tales are short and quick, but are not lacking in plot, or details. They are quick reads, and tough to set down. I can't wait to start on Volume 2.

    An excellent way to spend quality time with the world's most famous consulting detective!

    Who hasn't heard of Sherlock Holmes nowadays? The 221B Baker street most famous resident has solved many seemingly impossible cases, and is one of the greatest influences on modern detective characters. This in a complete work, with great introductions, a Conan Doyle short biography, endnotes and even two parodies and essays about one of England's greatest literary works. Recommended!

    Love it but ..

    Love the tales, the author, the genre, the character, such fantastic writing and a true legendary image within that of Literature and such genre itself. What i want to point out, excuse me if i am seeming rather foolish, in said publication i bought, i couldn't help but notice (and this is probably not the only one but it caught my eye)that on page X of The World of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, under the year 1897, Bram Stoker, for the fact that his first publication of Dracula has come forth, Mr. Stoker is written wrong, as Brain Stoker, has anyone else noticed such mistypes and such? Just got to me is all, but other then that, a fantastic collection of this author's marvelous talents and mind.

    The One and Only Sherlock Holmes

    No fictional character has been portrayed more on film, television, and literature than A. Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. This 2-volume edition is an excecllent bargain, and contains all of Doyle's short stories and novels.

    For those who are not familiar with the original Holmes stories, the B&N editions are an excellent way to start. "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Speckled Band", and "The Red-Headed League" are some of the most well-known stories.

    I would like to add that Dr. John Watson, the narrator of Holmes's adventures, is portrayed entirely different that in some film adaptations. In the original stories, Watson was a capable doctor and loyal friend to Holmes, who never failed to chastise his friend when he felt that Holmes had gone too far. Watson repeatedly demonstrated his loyalty and worth as a partner to Holmes, particulary in "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Indeed, Holmes often commented that he held Watson in the highest regard, and trusted him completely.

    Also included in the B&N edition is an introduction that gives more information on Victorian England and the events that shaped Doyle's stories.

    Give it a try- you won't regret it!

    A fantasttic mystery thriller

    This book is a amazing classic of British 20th century literature. It kepts you guessing the whole way thru the stories and there is some important points i believe Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stood true to himself such as the views on analytical studies such as in 'study in scarlet'.

    Fabulous read!!!!!!!!!!!

    I started this book in June and just finished the 'hounds of baskerville' , if you have never seen any of the cable tv versions of Holmes, read this first, then you'll know why the series are so famous. If you are new to mysteries, start out with Holmes, then you'll know what good literature is. My personal favorite stories are the Sign of Four And 'hounds, but I reccommend that you start from the beginning so you are able to familarize yourself with the author's early works and his proccess of developing Holmes and Watson.
