Against his grim backdrop, Conan Doyle turns The Hound of the Baskervilles into a philosophical battle of reason versus unreason. From the beginning, there’s a debate on: could the hound (sorry, the Hound) really be some kind of demon from beyond, tasked to gnaw on the nearest available Baskerville? Or must there be some earthbound explanation? Are we dealing with ghosts here, or human agency? The promise of Sherlock Holmes, always, is that rationality, evidence, questions, and logic can win the day. In the Hound, Holmes faces the possibility of forces beyond rationality. Can his craft, which he describes in the novel as “the scientific use of the imagination,”* banish the dark fate that haunts the Baskerville clan?
