![]() After his release from a seven-year prison sentence, it was Conan Doyle who championed his case for a pardon in the newspapers and in parliament. George Edalji, who trained as a solicitor, was the victim of a famous miscarriage of justice, convicted in 1903 of mutilating livestock in his parish. On the one hand, a boy full of dreams, the young Conan Doyle, listening to Arthurian legend in his mam's Scottish kitchen, a promising athlete and scholar, the classroom wit and storyteller on the other, a boy stripped of imagination, one George Edalji, son of a vicar in rural Staffordshire, poor and myopic, friendless and stolid.Īny student of Conan Doyle, or decent Sherlockologist will know that these two names became linked in later life. His novel begins as a pair of alternating biographies, a tale of opposites. ![]() ![]() With characteristically engaging intelligence, he has climbed into the mind of the most celebrated detective writer of all, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and set off on an adventure. For Arthur & George, you might say that the author has combined for the first time those two halves of his brain, taken his rigour on vacation. ![]()

Why study historical scientific caricatures? Fara explains how they recorded the tensions - and the colonialism, racism and sexism - that swirled around the birth of modern Western science. Later, as cheap newspapers became available, black-and-white cartoons proliferated. ![]() Before the rise of mass publishing, they were sold as individual engravings, often hand-coloured and displayed in shop windows to be appreciated by passers-by and purchased by the wealthy to impress house guests. The memes of their day, these images reached much of literate society and influenced public opinion.
