| Summary | Text | This study examines the Mormon subplot in A Study in Scarlet and its dramatic continuation in Angels of Darkness, arguing that Arthur Conan Doyle considered the Utah material central rather than incidental to the novel. Drawing extensively on literary, travel, anti-Mormon, Masonic, and Spiritualist sources, it reconstructs the intellectual context behind Doyle's depiction of Mormonism and situates the work within late Victorian religious debates. |
