NOTES FOR SCHOLARS
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT differences between this edition and Baring-Gould’s classic Annotated Sherlock Holmes. Baring-Gould emphasised the “chronology” of the stories—the dates on which the events recounted in the stories actually occurred—and devoted a significant portion of his notes to that topic. Sherlockian “chronologisation” is a complex science, and I have not intended to belittle the efforts of the chronologists by summarising and relegating their work to an appendix following the text. However, to point out all of the “clues” used by various chronologists in reaching their conclusions would have multiplied the notes exceedingly. Students of the techniques of devising a chronology are advised to read Andrew Jay Peck’s introduction to The Date Being—?: A Compendium of Chronological Data, available in an expanded and revised edition by Judge Peck and this editor.
There are at least three starting points for a modern textual analysis of each story: the Strand Magazine version, the original English book version, and the original American book version, which have surprising differences. Also important to any student of the text are the Oxford Sherlock Holmes, edited generally by Owen Dudley Edwards, and the Heritage (Limited Editions Club) edition of the Canon, edited by Edgar W. Smith. Both purport to present “definitive” text, the former with notes. My own version of the text relies most heavily on the English book text of the stories, under the theory that these versions received the most careful review from the author. However, “careful” review is a relative term, and numerous textual problems exist. In my notes, I have indicated significant variations among the sources.
While an examination of the original manuscript of the story, to review changes made by the author before submission for publication, would be very valuable, of the 56 stories, only 37 manuscripts are extant, and all but 13 are in the hands of private collectors, unavailable to students. Five of the manuscripts have been published in facsimile, “The Priory School,” “The Dying Detective,” “The Lion’s Mane,” “Shoscombe Old Place,” and “The Six Napoleons.” Scholars have examined a few manuscripts in situ and published their notes, and I have taken advantage of those available resources. In an apparent scholarly “first,” I was also able to compare a typescript of the author’s manuscript of “The Six Napoleons” to the published version and note significant changes made after submission of the manuscript.
