How did Poe influence Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?

Answer 1

Edgar Allan Poe's detective, crime and mystery novels influenced Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to write his own mysteries. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed that Edgar Allen Poe's stories were "a model for all time."

Answer 2

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle invented Sherlock Holmes. Everything that started after that like Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys was because of him.

Although what is already said is true, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle didn't create the original mystery story. The credit for that goes to Edgar Allan Poe. Poe wrote three mysteries, "The Murders of the Rue Morgue," "The Murder of Marie Roget," and "The Purloined Letter," of a detective named C. Auguste Dupin, and he wrote "The Gold Bug." This came years before Sherlock Holmes was even thought of. In an interview, Doyle agreed that "Dupin is unrivaled. It was Poe who taught the possibility of making a detective story a work of literature." Although Sherlock Holmes is more famous, Conan Doyle is not the creator of the crime story.

Answer 3

Conan influenced the world of literature in many ways. First, he started the promotion of Spiritualism around the world. Second, he created popularity in the mystery genre of writing. Lastly, he became the highest paid author in the world in 1920.

Answer 4

Chemistry, Biology, toxicology, forensic pathology, history, love of mystery and unimaginable investigative techniques and arm chair guessing- this was the formula for the success of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as a writer. Though widely accepted as a mystery writer, he actually liked to be known as a history writer.

Answer 5

Poe's detective stories, particularly those featuring C. Auguste Dupin, laid the foundation for the detective genre. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous character, Sherlock Holmes, was inspired by Dupin, and Doyle even acknowledged Poe's influence on his work. Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories expanded on Poe's detective fiction, popularizing the genre further.
