 "During the autumn of 1894, Arthur Conan Doyle toured the United States, delivering almost forty public lectures. The extraordinary success of Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories in America, as in Britain, ensured that the tour was a sell-out. The year before visiting America, however, Doyle had attempted to kill off his great detective after two novels and more than twenty short stories. At the end of 1893’s ‘The Final Problem,’ Holmes confronts his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty and plunges, seemingly to his death, into the Reichenbach Falls." |
