The Return of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of 13 Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1903-1904, by Arthur Conan Doyle. This was the first Holmes collection since 1893, when Holmes had "died" in The Final Problem. Having published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901-1902 (although setting it before Holmes` death) Doyle came under intense pressure to revive his famous character. The first story is set in 1894 and has Holmes returning in London and explaining the period from 1891-94, a period called "The Great Hiatus" by Sherlockian enthusiasts. Also of note is Watson`s statement in the last story of the cycle that Holmes has retired, and forbids him to publish any more stories.

"The Rainbow" is about three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghamshire from the 1840s to the early years of the twentieth century. Within this historical framework Lawrence`s essential concern is with the passional lives of his characters andhe explores the pressures that determine their lives, using a religious symbolism in which the "rainbow" of the title is his unifying motif. His primary focus is on the individual`s struggle to growth and fulfilment within marriage and changing social circumstances, a process shown to grow more difficult through the generations. Young Ursula Brangwen, whose story is continued in "Women in Love", is finally the central figure in Lawrence`s anatomy of the confining structures of English...
