Gothic Tales by Arthur Conan Doyle (English) Compact Disc Book

Description: Gothic Tales by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Darryl Jones, Gary Furlong Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Compact Disc Condition Brand New Description Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic tales. Many of Doyles writings are recognized as the very greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This collection brings together over thirty of Conan Doyles best Gothic tales. Darryl Joness introduction discusses the contradictions in Conan Doyles very public life--as a medical doctor who became obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to support Irish Home Rule--and shows the ways in which these found articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the Gothic. Author Biography Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.Darryl Jones is professor of English and dean of the faculty of arts, humanities, and social sciences at Trinity College Dublin, where he has taught since 1994.
