- catalog abstract ""A valued icon of British manhood, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been the subject of numerous biographies since his death in 1930. All his biographies have drawn heavily on his own autobiography, Memories and Adventures, a collection of stories and anecdotes themed on the subject of masculinity and its representation." "Diana Barsham's new study offers a challenging reinterpretation of Doyle's literary career, covering the full range of his work as novelist, historian, war correspondent, legal campaigner, propagandist, and, after his conversion to Spiritualism, as religious leader. In particular, she investigates the fascinating relationship between the popular Sherlock Holmes stories, read here as secret autobiography, and Doyle's formal histories of the Boer War and of World War One." "Situating Doyle's writing within the biographical traditions of the nineteenth century to which Dr. John H. Watson contributed his memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, this book charts the stages of Doyle's determination to become a great name in the culture of his day. His progress is charted through a series of dialogic contestations with rival figures such as Dr. George Budd, Thomas Hardy, Winston Churchill, Harry Houdini and St. Paul." "This original and thought-provoking work will be of interest to scholars and students of the nineteenth century and to Doyle's many readers and admirers throughout the world."--Jacket.".
