Revue de presse
In this erudite and provocative edition, Shafquat Towheed offers fans of both Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle an intricate account of the intertextual histories at the heart of The Sign of Four. Arguing for the inextricability of its colonial plots with its work as detective fiction, Towheed builds a persuasive case for The Sign of Four as Mutiny fiction, positioning it as pivotal to the imperial career of 'British' fiction per se. Readers of this edition will be gripped by the colonial pathways Towheed reveals, the politics of citation he uncovers, and the entanglement of home and empire he tracks in the making of the novel. This is postcolonial interpretation at its very best. --Antoinette Burton
Perhaps the greatest of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries is this: that when we talk of him we invariably fall into the fancy of his existence. --T. S. Eliot
Présentation de l'éditeur
Arthur Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician best known for his stories featuring the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle was a prolific author and his innovative mysteries make him one of the most widely read authors in history. Conan Doyle also wrote The Lost World, which was one of the earliest and most influential works in the lost world genre of fiction. The Sign of the Four, published in 1890, is the second novel featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The story begins with a beautiful young woman asking Sherlock and Watson to accompany her as she meets with a mysterious benefactor.
