Description
A Chronology of the Life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – Revised 2018 Edition by Brian Pugh
A Chronology of the Life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was first published in 2009; it was fully revised and expanded in 2012 and 2014, and an Addenda & Corrigenda was published in 2016. This 2018 edition has been completely updated and revised and supersedes all previous editions; it includes all of the revisions and corrections that were made previously, plus the information and maps included in the Addenda & Corrigenda. Also included is new information located during research since 2016. New photographs have been added to those already published and The Times is now listed in the sources with the date of publication. The index has been professionally compiled by Geraldine Beare.
The first section contains a family tree and a detailed chronology of the major and minor events in the life of Sir Arthur and his family from 1755 to 1930. This is followed by sections on events from 1930 to 1998, “An Arctic Voyage” in 1880, maps of Conan Doyle’s travels, the residences of Conan Doyle and his family, where they are buried, locations of plaques and statues, Arthur Conan Doyle’s love of cricket, Arthur Conan Doyle and the Portsmouth Football Club, Innes Doyle and cricket, a list of biographies and semi-biographical works, a list of facsimile manuscripts, a bibliography, a selective list of miscellaneous writings, works consulted and about the chronologist. Finally, there are a number of well-reproduced photographs of ACD and his family at various times of their lives; some have not appeared in print before. This publication proves that there is more to Arthur Conan Doyle than just Sherlock Holmes.
