| Summary | Text | The article examines Arthur Conan Doyle's collaboration with American journalist J. Malcolm Bird, using Bird's eyewitness accounts of séances to reassess Conan Doyle's approach to spiritualism. It argues that Conan Doyle was neither blindly credulous nor rigorously scientific, but a committed believer who balanced sympathy for mediums with selective skepticism toward individual phenomena. |
