Stealing History in The Hound of the Baskervilles.

The author says "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle," is saturated with concerns closely related to tourism-the power of imagination over landscape, distinction between authentic and inauthentic history and dangers posed by appealing cultural fictions. He says the novel marks an important turning point in its author's literary career because Conan Doyle killed off Holmes to much public outcry in 1893 to undertake what he called a higher work of British historical fiction.
