Summary
Furlong presents crime fiction writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes character. She uses Relevance Theory to examine how Holmes is adapted to Russian and Japanese culture, that is to say, what features of the original are being regarded as relevant both by the creator of an adaptation as well as by the audience, and what features the adaptations add to the source text and how these are related to the culture and sociopolitical situation in the receiving culture.
