The Sign Of Four

كتاب The Sign Of Four
المؤلف: Conan Doyle

" In this erudite and provocative edition , Shafquat Towheed offers fans of both Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle an intricate account of the intertextual histories at the heart of The Sign of Four . Arguing for the inextricability of its colonial plots with its work as detective fiction , Towheed builds a persuasive case for The Sign of Four as Mutiny fiction , positioning it as pivotal to the imperial career of ' British ' fiction per se . Readers of this edition will be gripped by the colonial pathways Towheed reveals , the politics of citation he uncovers , and the entanglement of home and empire he tracks in the making of the novel . This is postcolonial interpretation at its very best . " Antoinette Burton , University of Illinois , Urbana - Champaign
