The main character of The Hound of the Baskervilles is of course Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes is a
fictional detective created by author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A
London-based "consulting detective" whose abilities border on the
fantastic, Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to
adopt almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science skills to solve
difficult cases.
Holmes, who first appeared in publication in 1887, was
featured in four novels and 56 short stories. The first novel, A Study in Scarlet,
appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the
Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously
in popularity with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine,
beginning with A Scandal in Bohemia in 1891; further series of short stories
and two novels published in serial form appeared between then and 1927. The
stories cover a period from around 1880 up to 1914.
All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and
biographer, Dr. John H. Watson; two are narrated by Holmes himself ("The
Blanched Soldier" and "The Lion's Mane") and two others are
written in the third person ("The Mazarin Stone" and "His Last
Bow"). In two stories ("The Musgrave Ritual" and "The
Gloria Scott"), Holmes tells Watson the main story from his memories,
while Watson becomes the narrator of the frame story. The first and fourth
novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear, each include a long interval
of omniscient narration recounting events unknown to either Holmes or Watson.
