Edgar Allan Poe changing the focus from a “detective story” to a “tale of detection” specifically comes from Charles J. Rzepka’s book Detective Fiction, (Cambridge: Polity Press, 2010)

I am grateful to the incomparable Richard Lancelyn Green, the foremost Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle scholar who has done immense work on all of the rumors, stories and truths about this story that we shared. Additionally the fantastic introduction to the Barnes and Noble to The Complete Sherlock Holmes: Volume I is a great, and completely accessible source!
