A Study In Scarlet (Annotated) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, which helps us understand this literary work. We must pay special attention to those events that especially influenced the world of culture and art and also to those events that were especially reflected in literature, in the life of its writer or that affected it. There are many examples in which historical events have shaped the content and forms of literature, as well as this has often been the best testimony to the importance of certain events throughout history. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its period. In the eyes of many modern readers, Sherlock Holmes' stories portray the fifth essence of Victorian Britain. Holmes dresses as an English gentleman of the late nineteenth century, travels in horse-drawn cars through streets with gas lighting, and his clients are usually (though not always) wealthy members of the Victorian middle class, whose prosperity and status had increased to as a result of industrialization and the expansion of British imperial power. However, this is only one half of the story. It is wrong to categorize Holmes and its creator merely as "Victorians" although it is true that many of the stories are set in the 1880s and 1890s.
