Bøker av Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. Although he wrote a number of series, such as his Professor Challenger stories, he is by far best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In later life he gained notoriety for his belief in spiritualism and the Cottingley Fairies."His Last Bow" is the penultimate anthology of Sherlock Holmes short stories. It is most notable for its inclusion of the title story, which not only gives an account of Holmes' activities at the beginning of World War I, but is also one of the few Sherlock Holmes stories not narrated by Watson.

The first scholarly edition of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes including a detailed introduction, an essay on the text, a textual apparatus and explanatory notes. Arthur Conan Doyle's The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes was first published by George Newnes, Ltd in December 1893. The first edition featured eleven short stories which had all appeared in the Strand Magazine over the preceding twelve months. The sequence of stories culminated in the apparent death of Sherlock Holmes in 'The Final Problem'. The Memoirs contained some of the most well-regarded and dramatic of the early Holmes stories, but also served as a compelling document of Conan Doyle's struggle to balance the commercial demands of modern authorship with his own literary aspirations. This scholarly edition offers students and researchers a detailed resource with which to understand the volume's composition, publishing history and reception. Jonathan Cranfield is Senior Lecturer in English Literature and Cultural History at Liverpool John Moores University.

Arthur Conan Doyle famously killed off Sherlock Holmes in 1893. While the outcry that supposedly followed was mostly apocryphal, Doyle was tempted to return to Holmes in 1901-2 with The Hound of the Baskervilles, the success of which led to a more permanent revival. The thirteen tales that followed make up this volume.
