Round the red lamp: being facts and fancies of medical life
No full textBook synopsis: An often overlooked collection in Arthur Conan Doyle’s career, these tales actually track the vital moment in his life when he decided to shift careers from provincial medic to celebrated London author
Detailed introduction, notes and scholarly apparatus
Appendixes that collect extra medical tales, Conan Doyle’s early contributions to the medical press and the two one-act plays that he produced from two of the stories, including one of his greatest successes for the stage, Waterloo
Introduction provides the medical context to help understand its place in Conan Doyle’s career
This is a scholarly edition of Arthur Conan Doyle’s controversial collection of medical tales, first published in 1894 in the first flush of his fame. Conan Doyle had trained in medicine at Edinburgh University in the 1870s, and then spent eight years as a General Practitioner in Southsea, before deciding to become a professional author in 1890. The stories he collected in Round the Red Lamp are gathered from his medical training and incidents in his life as a provincial GP. Some of the stories are daring – dealing explicitly with child birth, sexually transmitted diseases and malpractice. Some are sentimental or comic vignettes. Some are Gothic horrors. On publication the shades of dark and light bewildered some of his readers and the medical realism outraged others. Round the Red Lamp is a vital collection in understanding Conan Doyle’s shift of profession from medic to author

Interactions Between Texts, Illustrations, and Readers: The Empiricist, Imperialist Narratives and Polemics of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
No full textWhile literary critics heretofore have subordinated Conan Doyle to more "canonical" writers, the author argues that his writings enrich our understanding of the ways in which Victorians and Edwardians constructed their identity as imperialists and that we therefore cannot afford to overlook Conan Doyle's work
Recueil d'essais sur le Professor Challenger de Conan Doyle Edited Collection of Essays on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Professor Challenger Narratives Challenger Unbound
No full textHabitually characterised as a late-appearing variant upon the Victorian Quest Romance, The Lost World in fact marked the beginning of Arthur Conan Doyle’s prolonged investigation of science, ideology and belief under the inhibiting constraints of early twentieth-century modernity. The narratives span from 1912 to 1929 and this new collection will be dedicated to re-evaluating the narratives, their author, the wider culture that he inhabited and the legacy of his work for the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We are interested in work that treats the texts either directly or tangentially through other aspects of Conan Doyle’s life and thought
Laure Conan: Un Théatre au Féminin au 19e siècle
No full textAlthough Laure Conan was known primarily as Quebec's first woman novelist, she was also one of only two woman playwrights in l9th-century Quebec. In the male-dominated Québécois theatre, the mere fact that she was a woman writing in a very conservative and patriotic framework makes her work something of an anomaly. In this article the author proposes to explore how Conan's plays are considered avant-garde in their feminist perspective while appearing to convey the traditional values expounded in the mainstream literature and theatre of the day. The analysis will focus on feminist speech act theory and on the role of the female characters in Conan's plays.Laure Conan, notre première romancière québécoise, était l'une des deux seules dramaturges-femmes au 19e siècle au Québec. Son théâtre, situé dans une époque dominée par des valeurs conservatrices et patriotiques, s'avère peu ordinaire par le fait même d'être écrit par une femme. Le but de cet article est d'élucider comment le théâtre de Conan peut à la fois être à l'avant-garde de son temps, suggérant des revendications féministes, tout en adhérant, au moins apparemment, aux valeurs traditionnelles véhiculées dans la littérature et le théâtre de l'époque. Afin de saisir ces nuances, cette analyse portera sur la prise de parole chez la femme tout en examinant le rôle du personnage féminin dans le théâtre de Conan
Super-Abilities of the Famous Literary Image of Sherlock Holmes Created by Arthur Conan Doyle
No full textThe article deals with the literary character of Sherlock Holmes created by Arthur Conan Doyle. The
stories by Arthur Conan Doyle and their translations into Russian and Azerbaijanian are taken into
account. The author of the article showed in his doctoral dissertation the year of appearance of each of
these sixty detective stories and novels, the name of translator of each of them into Russian and also
mentioned names of Azeri translators from the language of the original or from their Russian option since
the year of 1957. The latters helped to the development of the Azeri detective genre as well. Among them
novels of Jamshid Amiror are especially famous in our country. He described the heroical actions of local
police officers against criminal elements and the influence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is seriously felt in
them
Tra razionalismo e irrazionalismo: l’ombra della Massoneria su Conan Doyle e Sherlock Holmes
No full textThis paper deals with the relation between the works of Conan Doyle (especially the Sherlockian Canon) and Freemasonry. In the article the Masonic experience of Conan Doyle is described, as well as the Masonic references in his literary works. Both the life and the work of the Scottish author indicate that in Doyle rational and irrational aspects coexist; if we compare this coexistence with the well-known ‘double soul’ of Freemasonry (due to its Enlightenment heritage and its hermetic and esoteric origins), we can hypothesize that the frequentation of Masonic Lodges should be the key to interpreting this apparent discrepancy in Doyle’s thought
"Conan - Il ragazzo del futuro". Gli esordi televisivi di Miyazaki Hayao tra autorialità e animazione mainstream
No full textExamining the audiovisual output of the Japanese Oscar-winning director Miyazaki Hayao, the animated series Future Boy Conan (1978) can be regarded as the first broad-based work of his career. Commissioned by TV station NHK to Nippon Animation Studios, this successful series is a free adaptation from a US novel for kids and features the conventional devices of the anime boom’s most exploited genre: science-fiction. Nevertheless, in Conan are also recognizable many of Miyazaki’s future topoi, such as the criticism on the excessive power of technology, the hope for a harmonious relationship between men and nature, the confidence in the skills of the young protagonists. After having positionated the series within the general framework of Japanese animation, the paper analyzes Conan on the whole, reasoning on the devices employed by the author – at the dramatic level and at the visual one – in the working out of structure, themes, setting and characters. The analysis enlightens the seminal value of Conan in Miyazaki’s work, as it let the author fully express a strikingly original style, combining the will to face his personal issues with the attention towards commercial needs. From this perspective, the case of Conan also assumes a paradigmatic importance in defying the position which the director holds in the Japanese animation scene. Anticipating Studio Ghibli’s biggest hits, Miyazaki succeeds in building a multilevel work, suitable for children – the audience determined by the producers – but virtually enjoyable at any age: a mainstream product which unites quality animation with deep stories, commercial attractiveness, convincing characters and imaginative sceneries
