Doyle Drama


I'm reading this biography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and my interest in him stems from my interest in his creation Sherlock Holmes. During the summers of 2004 and 2005, I read the complete 2-volume Sherlock Holmes Collection - every tale Doyle wrote about Sherlock. This book delves into the diverse ways the English viewed Doyle. On one hand, he was revered for his Holmes fiction, but he was widely regarded as a kook when it came to his later writings on 'spiritualism,' aka believing in ghosts. To flip the coin, Doyle himself believed until the end of his life that his Holmes work was sub-par, and his best writing was that on the subject of spiritualism.
