Such a collection allows for a critical re-assessment of both the detectives' importance to the Victorian literature and culture and provides a better basis for understanding the reasons behind their contemporary returns, re-imaginings and re-creations, contributing to the creation of a base for further cultural and critical works dealing with reworkings of the Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucyna Krawczyk-Żywko\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor at the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw, Poland.
