To TheRozenQueen: You're partly right and partly wrong. Dupin does predate Sherlock by some decades, but Sherlock considers him 'a very inferior fellow'. See 'A Study in Scarlet." Doyle considered Poe to have written Dupin in such a narrow way that any writer who could break out of that straitjacket was to be cheered.

I posted a comment to this effect a good two hours ago or so, and though my later post to Cyrania de Bergerac appeared, this didn't.

Is there an explanation, please?
