Riassunto

Like the best satirists, Bangs was acutely aware of popular culture and drew on everything from the golfing craze to modern music to springboard his fiction. Those same elements are present in his detective fiction, too, exemplified by Raffles Holmes & Company. Here, Bangs also drew on Sherlock Holmes for inspiration- suggesting that Holmes and the daughter of A.J. Raffles (the thief-hero from the works of another contemporary writer, E. W. Hornung) married and produced a son, the titular hero Raffles Holmes. Raffles, of course, shared both his sire and grandsire's talents . . . and had a conflicted soul, caught between the impulse to steal and be a detective himself.
