Description
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the Meaning of Masculinity by Diana Barsham explores the life and career of a British icon, revealing the complexities of his identity and the cultural context in which he wrote. Doyle's struggles to define himself as a man, amidst the turmoil of late Victorian Britain, are examined in the context of his relationships with other writers and thinkers of the time. This thought-provoking study offers a fresh perspective on the Doyle myth, uncovering the tensions between his public persona and his personal struggles.
