What accomplishments did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have?
Sir Conan Doyle had several accomplishments:He was a licensed and practicing physicianHe played football as a goalkeeper for Portsmouth Association Football Club, an amateu…r side, under the pseudonym A. C. Smith.He wrote a pamphlet titled The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct, where he defended the UK's role in the Boer War. The pamphlet was widely translated. Possibly as a result of the Boer War pamphlet he was knighted by King Edward VII in 1902 and appointed a Deputy-Lieutenant of Surrey. He personally investigated two closed cases, which led to two men being exonerated of the crimes of which they were accused. One of them had been sentenced to death. His work on these cases probably helped prompt the establishment of he Court of Criminal Appeal in 1907, which helped correct other miscarriages of justice.... and of course his most famous accomplishmentHe created the character of Sherlock Holmes in 1886 and featured him in four novels and 56 short stories Note that despite the ubiquitous fame of his detective, Conan Doyle is not considered the father of the modern detective novel - that honor belongs to Edgar Allen Poe (who is more famous for his macabre stories) who published "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" featuring the first fictional detective, the eccentric and brilliant C. Auguste Dupin". He followed with further Auguste Dupin tales: "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" in 1843 and "The Purloined Letter" in 1845. Poe devised the plot formula that Conan Doyle followed in his Sherlock Holmes stories - and which, give or take a few shifting variables, is the same one used by nearly all detective fiction authors, whether it be books, theatre, television, or motion pictures. Poe - in turn - was probably influenced by earlier writers who each used elements of what we now know as detective fiction, but Poe was the first to combine the elements into the genre we now recognize as the modern "detective story".
