Poems About Arthur Conan Doyle
From The Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia
These poems brings together verses inspired by the life, work, and public image of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Some were written as tributes during his lifetime, others as memorial poems after his death in 1930, and others still take a lighter tone, reflecting the extraordinary place he held in popular culture. These poems do not belong to Conan Doyle's own writings. Rather, they show how he was seen by journalists, admirers, humorists, and fellow writers: as novelist, knight, spiritualist, public figure, and creator of Sherlock Holmes.
