Editing Sherlock Holmes (section)

==== Scholarly works ====
There have been many scholarly works dealing with Sherlock Holmes, some working within the bounds of the Great Game, and some written from the perspective that Holmes is a fictional character. In particular, there have been three major annotated editions of the complete series. The first was William Baring-Gould's 1967 ''The Annotated Sherlock Holmes''. This two-volume set was ordered to fit Baring-Gould's preferred chronology, and was written from a Great Game perspective. The second was 1993's ''The Oxford Sherlock Holmes'' (general editor: [[Owen Dudley Edwards]]), a nine-volume set written in a straight scholarly manner. The most recent is [[Leslie S. Klinger|Leslie Klinger's]] ''[[The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes]]'' (2004–05), a three-volume set that returns to a Great Game perspective.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2004/dec/04/classics.arthurconandoyle|title=Review: The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes edited by Leslie S Klinger|last=Hickling|first=Alfred|date=4 December 2004|work=The Guardian|access-date=4 January 2020|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|archive-date=5 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200605213836/https://www.theguardian.com/books/2004/dec/04/classics.arthurconandoyle|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/30/books/case-of-the-lawyer-with-a-sherlock-holmes-bent.html|title=Case of the Lawyer With a Sherlock Holmes Bent|last=Weingarten|first=Marc|date=30 December 2004|work=The New York Times|access-date=4 January 2020|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=21 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191021033828/https://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/30/books/case-of-the-lawyer-with-a-sherlock-holmes-bent.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
