| Summary | Text | The article argues that Arthur Conan Doyle's historical method grew from the tension between Enlightenment rationalism and a deep sympathy for emotion, instinct, and ordinary human experience, shaping both his fiction and his approach to the past. It concludes that Conan Doyle was a serious historian in practice, using narrative media like Watson or Gerard to recover voices excluded from formal history and to insist that history, like medicine, must remain fundamentally about people. |
