Doyle, Arthur Conan, Sir (1859-1930)
The
Great Shadow (1892) [Gaslight ed.] A little drama in which the heroine jilts
the hero and elopes with an officer of the Imperial Guard. The Napoleonic
terror is the “shadow” of the piece, and a fine picture of Waterloo completes
the climax. [Comments from Ernest A. Baker's A Guide to Historical Fiction
(London, 1914)] Tale of young man coming of age on coastal Scotland, involving
the landing of exiled French officer and the battle of Waterloo. [PT] 1814-1815.
Rodney Stone (1896) A sporting novel of the "Corinthian"
days of Brummell, Charlie Fox, Sheriden, and the Prince Regent (George
IV), with a great deal about the ring: there are two memorable descriptions
of “a fight to a finish.” One of the most interesting figures is
the superfine buck, Tregellis. Nelson, Lady Hamilton, Sir Philip Francis,
and many other notable people make their appearance, and are sketched in
a rough-and-ready, strongly accentuated way. 1803. [Comments from
Ernest A. Baker's A Guide to Historical Fiction (London, 1914)]
Uncle
Bernac: A Memory of the Empire (1897) [Gaslight ed.] A story of the camp at
Boulogne and the projected invasion of England (1804) Napoleon is powerfully
and humanly portrayed. The hero and narrator is an émigré
noble who serves under the Emperor; Bernac is the villain, a treacherous
uncle who has usurped the family estates. Full of intrigues and sensational
doings, and of celebrated personalities like Ney, Murat, Soult, Talleyrand,
and Josephine. [Comments from Ernest A. Baker's A Guide to Historical
Fiction (London, 1914)] 1800-1803. (Gerard appears as minor character.)
The author presents a human view of Napoleon, the man of action and the man of dreams, "with the soul of a poet and the mind of a business man." The story describes the camp at Boulogne and the designs for the invasion of England. Such notabilities as Talleyrand, Ney, Murat, Soult and the Empress Josephine are introduced. 1805. [Comments from Buckley & Williams' A Guide to British Historical Fiction (London, 1912)]
The Straggler of '15 (1891) [Arthur Conan Doyle Society ed.] This short story is the basis
of the later play, Waterloo.
Waterloo [Arthur Conan Doyle Society ed.] Play first performed in 1894.
Foreign Office
Romance (November 1894) [Gaslight ed.] Intrigue at the signing of the Preliminaries
of Amiens, Oct. 1801.
The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard: (published as a group:
1896) Self-related exploits of an officer of the Grande Armée, a
fire-eater, a braggart, and in many ways a type of French virtues and foibles.
The eight stories are roughly connected into a memoir, each centring on
some sensational deed, the perils and prowess of which are by no means
belittled in the mouth of the genial narrator, whose humour is quite unconscious.
Napoleon, Wellington, and many other celebrity pass through these scenes
of action and adventure all over Europe. [Comments from Ernest A. Baker's
