The Hound of the Baskervilles

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set in 1889 largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Holmes and Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.[3]

Plot

 
The titular hound

Dr James Mortimer recounts to Sherlock Holmes in London an old legend of a curse that reportedly runs in the Baskerville family since the time of the English Civil War, when Sir Hugo Baskerville was killed by a huge demonic hound, with the same creature haunting the mires of Dartmoor ever since, causing the premature death of many Baskerville heirs. He reveals that his friend Sir Charles Baskerville, who took the legend of the hound seriously, was found dead in the yew alley of his estate, Baskerville Hall, in the midst of Dartmoor. The death was attributed to a heart attack, but Mortimer reveals that Sir Charles's face retained an expression of horror, and not far from his body were the footprints of a gigantic hound. Mortimer now fears for the next in line, Sir Henry Baskerville.

Though he dismisses the curse as nonsense, Holmes agrees to meet Sir Henry, who is arriving from Canada, where he has been living. A young and jovial man, Sir Henry is sceptical about the legend and is eager to take possession of Baskerville Hall, in spite of receiving an anonymous note, warning him to stay away from the moor. When someone shadows Sir Henry while he is walking down a street, however, Holmes asks Watson to go with Sir Henry and Mortimer to Dartmoor, in order to protect Sir Henry and search for any clues about who is following him.

The hound killed by Holmes

The trio arrive at Baskerville Hall. It has a married couple, the Barrymores, as butler and housekeeper. The estate is surrounded by the moor and borders the Grimpen Mire, where animals and humans can sink into mud to their deaths. The news that a convict named Selden, a murderer, has escaped from nearby Dartmoor Prison and is hiding in the nearby barren hills adds to the gloomy atmosphere.

There are inexplicable events during the first night, keeping Sir Henry and Watson awake, and only in the daylight do they relax while exploring the neighbourhood and meeting the few residents. Watson keeps searching for any lead to the identity of whoever is following Sir Henry, and faithfully sends details of his investigations to Holmes. Among the residents, the Stapletons, brother and sister, stand out: Jack is overfriendly and too curious toward Sir Henry and Watson, while Beryl, a beautiful woman, seems all too weary of the place and attempts to warn Sir Henry, via Watson, of danger.

Distant howls and strange sightings trouble Watson during his long walks among the hills, and his mood is no better inside Baskerville Hall. Watson grows suspicious of the butler Barrymore, who at night is signalling from a window of the house with a candle, to someone on the moor. Meanwhile, Sir Henry is drawn to Beryl, who seems to be afraid of her brother's attitude to any relationship. To make the puzzle more complex there is Dr. Mortimer, who is all too eager to convince Sir Henry that the curse is real; Frankland, an old and grumpy neighbour, who likes to pry on others with his telescope; his estranged daughter Laura, who had unclear ties to Sir Charles; and even an unknown man roaming free on the moor and apparently hiding on a tor where ancient tombs have been excavated by Mortimer.

Watson investigates the man on the tor, and discovers that it has been Holmes, who has been hiding on the moor all the time and is close to solving the mystery. He reveals that the hound is real and belongs to Stapleton, who promised Laura marriage and convinced her to lure Sir Charles out of his house at night, in order to frighten him with the hound. Holmes also deduces that Stapleton is actually Rodger Baskerville. Hoping to inherit the family estate, he has plotted to kill his relatives using a vicious hound that he has painted with phosphorus to appear sinister. The superstitious Charles suffered a heart attack after being frightened by the animal. Added to which, Beryl is in fact Jack Stapleton's wife, abused and forced into posing as his sister so as to influence Sir Henry and expose him as well to the hound. The hound kills a man on the moor whom Holmes and Watson fear is Sir Henry, but Barrymore had given the former's clothes to Selden, who is his brother-in-law, and Selden dies instead.

Holmes decides to use Baskerville as bait to catch Stapleton red-handed by having Sir Henry accept an invitation to Stapleton's house and walk back after dark, giving his enemy every chance to unleash the hound on him. Holmes and Watson pretend to leave Dartmoor by train, but instead they hide near Stapleton's house with Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard. Despite the dark and a thick fog, Holmes and Watson are able to kill the hound when it attacks Sir Henry. They find in Stapleton’s house the bound and badly abused Beryl, while Stapleton, in his panicked flight from the scene, seemingly drowns in the mire. Back in London, Holmes remarks to Watson that not only was Stapleton a physical and spiritual throwback to Sir Hugo Baskerville, being a lost relation of Sir Charles, but also that he was one of the most formidable foes Holmes had ever encountered.[6]

Origins and background

 
Baskerville Hall, formally Clyro Court, may have inspired The Hound of the Baskervilles.
 
The ruins of Fowelscombe House, a possible model for Baskerville Hall (2008).
 
Cromer Hall
 
Crowsley Park House

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this story shortly after returning to his home Undershaw in Surrey from South Africa, where he had worked as a volunteer physician at the Langman Field Hospital in Bloemfontein during the Second Boer War. He had not written about Sherlock Holmes in eight years, having killed off the character in the 1893 story "The Final Problem". Although The Hound of the Baskervilles is set before the latter events, two years later Conan Doyle brought Holmes back for good, explaining in "The Adventure of the Empty House" that Holmes had faked his own death. As a result, the character of Holmes occupies a liminal space between being alive and dead which further lends to the gothic elements of the novel.[7]

He was assisted with the legend of the hound and local colour by a Daily Express journalist named Bertram Fletcher Robinson (1870–1907), with whom he explored Dartmoor in June, 1901, and to whom a 13 royalty which amounted to over 500 pounds by the end of 1901.[clarification needed][8]

Conan Doyle may also have been inspired by his own earlier story (written and published in 1898) of a terrifying giant wolf, "The King of the Foxes".

Inspiration

His ideas came from the legend of Squire Richard Cabell of Brook Hall, in the parish of Buckfastleigh, Devon,[9] which was the fundamental inspiration for the Baskerville tale of a hellish hound and a cursed country squire. Cabell's tomb survives in the town of Buckfastleigh.[10][11]

Cabell lived for hunting, and was what in those days was described as a "monstrously evil man". He gained this reputation, amongst other things, for immorality and having sold his soul to the Devil. There was also a rumour that he had murdered his wife, Elizabeth Fowell, a daughter of Sir Edmund Fowell, 1st Baronet (1593–1674), of Fowelscombe.[12] On 5 July 1677, he died and was buried in the sepulchre. The night of his interment saw a phantom pack of hounds come baying across the moor to howl at his tomb. From that night on, he could be found leading the phantom pack across the moor, usually on the anniversary of his death. If the pack were not out hunting, they could be found ranging around his grave howling and shrieking. To try to lay the soul to rest, the villagers built a large building around the tomb, and to be doubly sure a huge slab was placed.[13]

Moreover, Devon's folklore includes tales of a fearsome supernatural dog known as the Yeth hound that Conan Doyle may have heard. [14]

Weller (2002) believes that Baskerville Hall is based on one of three possible houses on or near Dartmoor:[15] Fowelscombe in the parish of Ugborough, the seat of the Fowell Baronets; Hayford Hall, near Buckfastleigh (also owned by John King (d.1861) of Fowelscombe) and Brook Hall, in the parish of Buckfastleigh, about two miles east of Hayford, the actual home of Richard Cabell.[9] It has also been claimed that Baskerville Hall is based on a property in Mid Wales, built in 1839 by one Thomas Mynors Baskerville. The house was formerly named Clyro Court and was renamed Baskerville Hall towards the end of the 19th century. Arthur Conan Doyle was apparently a family friend who often stayed there and may have been aware of a local legend of the hound of the Baskervilles.[16]

Still other tales claim that Conan Doyle was inspired by a holiday in North Norfolk, where the tale of Black Shuck is well known. The pre-Gothic Cromer Hall, where Conan Doyle stayed, also closely resembles Doyle's vivid descriptions of Baskerville Hall.[17]

James Lynam Molloy, a friend of Doyle's, and author of "Love's Old Sweet Song", married Florence Baskerville, daughter of Henry Baskerville of Crowsley Park, Oxfordshire. The gates to the park had statues of hell hounds, spears through their mouths. Above the lintel there was another statue of a hell hound.[citation needed]

Technique

The novel incorporates five plots: the ostensible 'curse' story, the two red-herring subplots concerning Selden and the other stranger living on the moor, the actual events occurring to Baskerville as narrated by Watson, and the hidden plot to be discovered by Holmes. The structure of the novel starting and ending in the familiar setting in London is used to ‘delimit the uncanny world associated with the Gothic landscape of the moors’, with varying degrees of success.[7] Doyle wrote that the novel was originally conceived as a straight 'Victorian creeper' (as seen in the works of J. Sheridan Le Fanu), with the idea of introducing Holmes as the deus ex machina only arising later.

Publication

The Hound of the Baskervilles was first serialised in The Strand Magazine in 1901. It was well-suited for this type of publication, as individual chapters end in cliffhangers. It was printed in the United Kingdom as a novel in March 1902 by George Newnes Ltd.[18] It was published in the same year in the United States by McClure, Philips & Co.[19]

Original manuscript

In 1902, Doyle's original manuscript of the book was broken up into individual leaves as part of a promotional campaign by Doyle's American publisher – they were used in window displays by individual booksellers. Out of an estimated 185–190 leaves, only 37 are known still to exist, including all the leaves from Chapter 11, held by the New York Public Library. Other leaves are owned by university libraries and private collectors.[19]

A newly rediscovered example was sold at auction in 2012 for US$158,500.[20]

The Daily Telegraph described it as a ‘wonderfully delightful spoof’, whilst The Sunday Times praised its ‘mad hilarity that will make you feel quite sane’. This adaptation continues to be presented by both amateur and professional companies around the world.[45]

In particular, the manuscript of The Hound of the Baskervilles is a key part of the case.[49]

Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles is a casual game by Frogwares. It departs from the original plot by introducing clear supernatural elements. Despite its non-canonical plot, it received good reviews.[50]

See also 10 References 11 External linksPlot Edit The titular hound Dr James Mortimer recounts to Sherlock Holmes in London an old legend of a curse that reportedly runs in the Baskerville family since the time of the English Civil War when Sir Hugo Baskerville was killed by a huge demonic hound with the same creature haunting the mires of Dartmoor ever since causing the premature death of many Baskerville heirs He reveals that his friend Sir Charles Baskerville who took the legend of the hound seriously was found dead in the yew alley of his estate Baskerville Hall in the midst of Dartmoor The death was attributed to a heart attack but Mortimer reveals that Sir Charles s face retained an expression of horror and not far from his body were the footprints of a gigantic hound Mortimer now fears for the next in line Sir Henry Baskerville Though he dismisses the curse as nonsense Holmes agrees to meet Sir Henry who is arriving from Canada where he has been living A young and jovial man Sir Henry is sceptical about the legend and is eager to take possession of Baskerville Hall in spite of receiving an anonymous note warning him to stay away from the moor When someone shadows Sir Henry while he is walking down a street however Holmes asks Watson to go with Sir Henry and Mortimer to Dartmoor in order to protect Sir Henry and search for any clues about who is following him Sherlock Holmes examining Dr Mortimer s walking stick Sir Henry Baskerville Holmes sees a clue in the Baskerville portrait Watson meets Stapleton Watson meets Miss Stapleton The hound killed by Holmes The trio arrive at Baskerville Hall It has a married couple the Barrymores as butler and housekeeper The estate is surrounded by the moor and borders the Grimpen Mire where animals and humans can sink into mud to their deaths The news that a convict named Selden a murderer has escaped from nearby Dartmoor Prison and is hiding in the nearby barren hills adds to the gloomy atmosphere There are inexplicable events during the first night keeping Sir Henry and Watson awake and only in the daylight do they relax while exploring the neighbourhood and meeting the few residents Watson keeps searching for any lead to the identity of whoever is following Sir Henry and faithfully sends details of his investigations to Holmes Among the residents the Stapletons brother and sister stand out Jack is overfriendly and too curious toward Sir Henry and Watson while Beryl a beautiful woman seems all too weary of the place and attempts to warn Sir Henry via Watson of danger Distant howls and strange sightings trouble Watson during his long walks among the hills and his mood is no better inside Baskerville Hall Watson grows suspicious of the butler Barrymore who at night is signalling from a window of the house with a candle to someone on the moor Meanwhile Sir Henry is drawn to Beryl who seems to be afraid of her brother s attitude to any relationship To make the puzzle more complex there is Dr Mortimer who is all too eager to convince Sir Henry that the curse is real Frankland an old and grumpy neighbour who likes to pry on others with his telescope his estranged daughter Laura who had unclear ties to Sir Charles and even an unknown man roaming free on the moor and apparently hiding on a tor where ancient tombs have been excavated by Mortimer Watson investigates the man on the tor and discovers that it has been Holmes who has been hiding on the moor all the time and is close to solving the mystery He reveals that the hound is real and belongs to Stapleton who promised Laura marriage and convinced her to lure Sir Charles out of his house at night in order to frighten him with the hound Holmes also deduces that Stapleton is actually Rodger Baskerville Hoping to inherit the family estate he has plotted to kill his relatives using a vicious hound that he has painted with phosphorus to appear sinister The superstitious Charles suffered a heart attack after being frightened by the animal Added to which Beryl is in fact Jack Stapleton s wife abused and forced into posing as his sister so as to influence Sir Henry and expose him as well to the hound The hound kills a man on the moor whom Holmes and Watson fear is Sir Henry but Barrymore had given the former s clothes to Selden who is his brother in law and Selden dies instead Holmes decides to use Baskerville as bait to catch Stapleton red handed by having Sir Henry accept an invitation to Stapleton s house and walk back after dark giving his enemy every chance to unleash the hound on him Holmes and Watson pretend to leave Dartmoor by train but instead they hide near Stapleton s house with Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard Despite the dark and a thick fog Holmes and Watson are able to kill the hound when it attacks Sir Henry They find in Stapleton s house the bound and badly abused Beryl while Stapleton in his panicked flight from the scene seemingly drowns in the mire Back in London Holmes remarks to Watson that not only was Stapleton a physical and spiritual throwback to Sir Hugo Baskerville being a lost relation of Sir Charles but also that he was one of the most formidable foes Holmes had ever encountered 6 Origins and background Edit Baskerville Hall formally Clyro Court may have inspired The Hound of the Baskervilles The ruins of Fowelscombe House a possible model for Baskerville Hall 2008 Cromer Hall Crowsley Park House Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this story shortly after returning to his home Undershaw in Surrey from South Africa where he had worked as a volunteer physician at the Langman Field Hospital in Bloemfontein during the Second Boer War He had not written about Sherlock Holmes in eight years having killed off the character in the 1893 story The Final Problem Although The Hound of the Baskervilles is set before the latter events two years later Conan Doyle brought Holmes back for good explaining in The Adventure of the Empty House that Holmes had faked his own death As a result the character of Holmes occupies a liminal space between being alive and dead which further lends to the gothic elements of the novel 7 He was assisted with the legend of the hound and local colour by a Daily Express journalist named Bertram Fletcher Robinson 1870 1907 with whom he explored Dartmoor in June 1901 and to whom a 1 3 royalty which amounted to over 500 pounds by the end of 1901 clarification needed 8 Conan Doyle may also have been inspired by his own earlier story written and published in 1898 of a terrifying giant wolf The King of the Foxes Inspiration EditHis ideas came from the legend of Squire Richard Cabell of Brook Hall in the parish of Buckfastleigh Devon 9 which was the fundamental inspiration for the Baskerville tale of a hellish hound and a cursed country squire Cabell s tomb survives in the town of Buckfastleigh 10 11 Cabell lived for hunting and was what in those days was described as a monstrously evil man He gained this reputation amongst other things for immorality and having sold his soul to the Devil There was also a rumour that he had murdered his wife Elizabeth Fowell a daughter of Sir Edmund Fowell 1st Baronet 1593 1674 of Fowelscombe 12 On 5 July 1677 he died and was buried in the sepulchre The night of his interment saw a phantom pack of hounds come baying across the moor to howl at his tomb From that night on he could be found leading the phantom pack across the moor usually on the anniversary of his death If the pack were not out hunting they could be found ranging around his grave howling and shrieking To try to lay the soul to rest the villagers built a large building around the tomb and to be doubly sure a huge slab was placed 13 Moreover Devon s folklore includes tales of a fearsome supernatural dog known as the Yeth hound that Conan Doyle may have heard 14 Weller 2002 believes that Baskerville Hall is based on one of three possible houses on or near Dartmoor 15 Fowelscombe in the parish of Ugborough the seat of the Fowell Baronets Hayford Hall near Buckfastleigh also owned by John King d 1861 of Fowelscombe and Brook Hall in the parish of Buckfastleigh about two miles east of Hayford the actual home of Richard Cabell 9 It has also been claimed that Baskerville Hall is based on a property in Mid Wales built in 1839 by one Thomas Mynors Baskerville The house was formerly named Clyro Court and was renamed Baskerville Hall towards the end of the 19th century Arthur Conan Doyle was apparently a family friend who often stayed there and may have been aware of a local legend of the hound of the Baskervilles 16 Still other tales claim that Conan Doyle was inspired by a holiday in North Norfolk where the tale of Black Shuck is well known The pre Gothic Cromer Hall where Conan Doyle stayed also closely resembles Doyle s vivid descriptions of Baskerville Hall 17 James Lynam Molloy a friend of Doyle s and author of Love s Old Sweet Song married Florence Baskerville daughter of Henry Baskerville of Crowsley Park Oxfordshire The gates to the park had statues of hell hounds spears through their mouths Above the lintel there was another statue of a hell hound citation needed Technique EditThis section does not cite any sources Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources Unsourced material may be challenged and removed June 2015 Learn how and when to remove this template message The novel incorporates five plots the ostensible curse story the two red herring subplots concerning Selden and the other stranger living on the moor the actual events occurring to Baskerville as narrated by Watson and the hidden plot to be discovered by Holmes The structure of the novel starting and ending in the familiar setting in London is used to delimit the uncanny world associated with the Gothic landscape of the moors with varying degrees of success 7 Doyle wrote that the novel was originally conceived as a straight Victorian creeper as seen in the works of J Sheridan Le Fanu with the idea of introducing Holmes as the deus ex machina only arising later Publication EditThe Hound of the Baskervilles was first serialised in The Strand Magazine in 1901 It was well suited for this type of publication as individual chapters end in cliffhangers It was printed in the United Kingdom as a novel in March 1902 by George Newnes Ltd 18 It was published in the same year in the United States by McClure Philips amp Co 19 Original manuscript Edit In 1902 Doyle s original manuscript of the book was broken up into individual leaves as part of a promotional campaign by Doyle s American publisher they were used in window displays by individual booksellers Out of an estimated 185 190 leaves only 37 are known still to exist including all the leaves from Chapter 11 held by the New York Public Library Other leaves are owned by university libraries and private collectors 19 A newly rediscovered example was sold at auction in 2012 for US 158 500 20 Adaptations EditThe Hound of the Baskervilles has been adapted in various forms of media Film and television adaptations Edit Over 20 film and television
