2 I. READING COMPREHENSION Arthur Conan Doyle Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (May 22, July 7, 1930) is the British author most famously known for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction. He is sometimes called Conan Doyle Conan was originally a middle name but he used it as part of his surname in his later years. He was born in 1859 (Edinburgh) and sent to the Jesuit preparatory school Stonyhurst at the age of nine, and by the time he left the school in 1875, he had firmly rejected Catholicism and probably Christianity in general, to become an agnostic. From 1876 to 1881, he studied medicine at Edinburgh University. Following his term at University, he served as a ship s doctor on a voyage to the West African coast and then in 1882 he set up a practice in Plymouth. His medical practice was unsuccessful; while waiting for patients, he began writing stories. His first literary experience came in Chambers s Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. It was only after he subsequently moved his practice to Southsea that he began to indulge more extensively in literature. His first significant work was A Study in Scarlet, which appeared in Beeton s Christmas Annual for 1887 and featured the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes. In 1885 he married Louise Hawkins, who suffered from tuberculosis and eventually died in He married Miss Jean Leckie in 1907, whom he had first met and fallen in love with in 1897, but had maintained a platonic relationship with out of loyalty to his first wife. Doyle had five children, two with his first wife and three with his second wife. In 1890 Doyle studied the eye in Vienna and in 1891 moved to London to set up a practice as an oculist. This also gave him more time for writing, and in November 1891 he wrote to his mother: I think of slaying (=killing) Holmes and winding him up for good and all. He takes my mind from better things. In December 1893 he did so, with Holmes and his rival professor Moriarty apparently plunging to their deaths together over a waterfall in the story The Final Problem. Public outcry led him to bring the character back Doyle returned to the story, saying that Holmes had climbed back up the cliff afterwards. Following the Boer War in South Africa at the turn of the century and the condemnation from around the world over Britain s conduct, Doyle wrote a short pamphlet titled The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct, which was widely translated. Doyle believed that it was this pamphlet that resulted in his being knighted and appointed as Deputy-Lieutenant of Surrey in During the early years of the twentieth century, Sir Arthur twice ran for Parliament, but although he received a respectable vote, he was not elected. He did, however, become one of the first Honorary members of the Ski Club of Great Britain. Doyle also caused two cases to be reopened. The first case, in 1906, involved a shy half-british, half- Indian lawyer named George Edalji, who had allegedly penned threatening letters and mutilated animals. Police were convinced of his guilt, even though the mutilations continued after their suspect was jailed. It was partially as a result of this case that the Court of Criminal Appeal was established in 1907, so not only did Conan Doyle help George Edalji, but his work helped establish a way to correct other miscarriages of justice. The second case that of Oscar Slater, a German Jew convicted of bludgeoning (= matraquer) an 82-year-old woman in 1908 excited Doyle s curiosity because of inconsistencies in the prosecution case and a general sense that Slater was framed. In his later years, Doyle became involved with Spiritualism, to the extent that he wrote a Professor Challenger novel on the subject, The Land of Mist. One aspect of this involvement was his book The Coming of the Fairies (1921): He was apparently convinced of the veracity of the Cottingley fairy photographs, which he reproduced in the book, together with theories about the nature and existence of fairies and spirits. His work on this topic was one of the reasons that one of his short story collections, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 under the pretence of occultism. Arthur Conan Doyle is buried in the Church Yard at Minstead in the new Forest, Hampshire, England. Page 2 / 8
