For more than a hundred years, critics, scholars and the whole spectrum of readers have been pleasantly mystified by the enduring popularity of Sherlock Holmes. Why is an eccentric, pipe-smoking Victorian detective the greatest fictional character of all time? Myth and Modern Man in Sherlock Holmes answers this question at long last with a thoughtful assessment of Conan Doyle's place in history.

Satisfaction Guaranteed. Sherlock Holmes is a fictional private detective ...
