The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of stories relating to the infamous character Sherlock Holmes, a notable detective who investigates various mysteries and crime set in the 1900s. George Newness publishing company first published the collection in October 1892.
The collection consists of a series of twelve stories told from the view of Holmes's close friend, Dr. Watson. The stories resonate the social injustices faced by many at the time and Doyle includes stories of a king's betrayal of an opera singer, a stepfather's deception of his ward as a fictitious lover, an aristocratic crook's exploitation of a failing pawnbroker, a beggar's extensive estate in Kent; as a reference to the unjust world that many civilians lived in during the 1900s. Doyle addresses all these problems by introducing Holmes as a person who is trying to bring justice to the world by rightfully solving crimes and mysteries.
