[편집] 소설
The Inspector Morse novels have been successful in both book and television serial form. Set primarily in Oxford with a vintage Mark 2 Jaguar car (originally a Lancia), a thirst for beer, intellectual snobbery and penchant for Wagner, Morse presents a likeable person despite his sullen temperament.
Morse dislikes spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. This is demonstrated by the fact that in every personal or private document written to him, he manages to point out at least one spelling mistake. His approach to crime-solving, he frequently asserts, is deductive and one of his key tenets is that 'the last person to see the victim alive was the murderer'. Dexter is a fan of cryptic crosswords, and Morse is named after champion solver Sir Jeremy Morse, one of Dexter's arch-rivals as a clue-writer in the crossword world. In every novel (except the first, Last Bus to Woodstock) the surname of the killer is taken from those of winners of the weekly Azed solving competition in The Observer.[1] Indeed, for a while, Dexter wrote a weekly How to Solve Cryptic Crosswords column in the Observer's sister paper The Guardian.
Morse's first name, "Endeavour", was kept a secret until the end of Death is Now My Neighbour (traditionally Morse claimed that he should be called 'Morse' or jokingly that his first name was 'Inspector'). The origin of his name is the vessel HM Bark Endeavour, as Morse's mother was a Quaker (Quakers have a tradition of "virtue names") and his father was a fan of Captain James Cook.
Morse is an interesting and complex character to assess from a social and political viewpoint. In sharp juxtaposition to the Welsh (altered to northern in the TV series) working class background of his assistant, Lewis (named for another rival clue-writer, Mrs. B. Lewis), Morse is ostensibly the embodiment of white, male, upper-middle-class Englishness, with a set of prejudices and assumptions to match. He is, for example, frequently portrayed in the act of patronising women characters to the extent that some feminist critics have argued that Morse is a misogynist.[2] Morse's relationships with authority, the establishment, bastions of power and the status quo are markedly ambiguous.
Although details of Morse's career are deliberately kept vague, it is hinted that as a schoolboy, he won a scholarship to study at Oxford. He lost the scholarship as the result of poor academic performance, which in turn resulted from a failed love affair. Sent down i.e. forced to leave the University, he entered the Army, and on leaving it, joined the Police. He often reflects on renowned scholars (such as A. E. Houseman) who, like himself, failed to get academic degrees from Oxford.

The Inspector Morse novels were made into an extremely successful TV series (also called Inspector Morse) for the British TV channel ITV. The series was made by Zenith Productions for Central (a company later acquired by Carlton). The series comprises 33 two-hour episodes (100 minutes excluding commercials)—twenty more episodes than there are novels—produced between 1987 and 2000. The final episode was adapted from the final novel.
