Arthur Conan Doyle

About Doyle

关于道尔

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, and for the adventures of Professor Challenger。 He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction。

Arthur Conan Doyle was born at Picardy Place, Edinburgh, the son of Charles Altamont Doyle, a civil servant in the Edinburgh Office of Works, and Mary (Foley) Doyle。 Both of Doyle’s parents were Roman Catholics。 To increase his income, Charles Altamont painted, made book illustrations, and also worked as a sketch artist on criminal trials。 Not long after arriving Edinburgh he began to drink and suffered at the same time from epilepsy, he was eventually institutionalized。 Richard Doyle (1824–1883), the uncle of A。C。 Doyle and the son of the caricaturist John Doyle, was also an illustrator。 He worked for Punch and illustrated chiefly fairy stories, including Ruskin’s The King of the Golden River, W。 Allingham’s In Fairyland and some of Dickens’ Christmas Books。

Doyle qualified as doctor in 1885。 After graduation Doyle practiced medicine as an eye specialist at Southsea near Porsmouth in Hampshire until 1891 when he became a full time writer。 His first story, an illustrated tale of a man and a tiger, Doyle had produced at the age of six。 Doyle’s first novel about Holmes, A Study in Scarlet, was published in 1887 in Beeton’s Christmas Annual。 The story was written in three weeks in 1886。 It introduced the detective and his Sancho Panza and Boswell, Dr。 Watson, the narrator。 Their major opponent, the evil genius Dr。 Moriarty, became a kind of doppelg·nger of the detective。 Also the intrigues of the beautiful opera singer Irene Adler caused much trouble to Holmes。
