Description
To Sherlock Holmes she is always 'the woman'.
I have seldom heard him mention her
under any other name . . .
~
The 1892 collection of Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle is a series telling of the exploits of that great investigative sleuth of the Victorian Age, Sherlock Holmes, recounted by his friend, colleague, and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson.
In these adventures, Holmes mixes with royalty, encounters 'the woman' who bested him, Irene Adler, detects scoundrels and occasionally dispenses his own form of justice. All against the background of a London that is partially hidden by the ever-present drift of yellow smog and nefarious vapours through which Holmes glides, wearing disguises to fit each unique occasion.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and author whose creation of Sherlock Holmes transformed popular literature and established many of the conventions of modern detective fiction. First appearing in 1887, Holmes and Dr Watson became enduring cultural figures, celebrated for their sharp reasoning, vivid London milieu, and the distinctive narrative voice of Watson's case chronicles. Beyond Holmes, Doyle wrote historical novels, adventure fiction, plays, journalism, and nonfiction, and remains one of the most widely read and adapted writers in the English language.
