1888 was a busy year for Holmes and Watson. If Dr. Watson is to be believed, The Sign of Four, A Scandal in Bohemia, and The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor all took place in this year (I would also argue that The Valley of Fear is set in the same year — ed.). As if that weren’t enough, 1888 is remembered (albeit infamously) as the year that Jack the Ripper unleashed an autumn of terror on the citizens of London. While there are no Holmes vs. the Ripper stories in this volume, the authors of the later stories have all alluded to the atmosphere of terror permeating Holmes’s London at that time.

探偵小説の衰退について考察した評論。夢野は、「探偵小説を根源的な芸術として位置づけ、その価値はトリックや謎解きだけにある」という本格派の主張に反論する。探偵小説は従来の芸術の伝統から脱却し、人間心理を深く分析する新しい文芸形態である。純粋な本格探偵小説は原始的な型に過ぎず、真の使命は変格にある、と主張を続ける。
