About this ebook

“The Stark Munro Letters” is a novel by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As an epistolary novel it takes the form of twelve long letters written by J. Stark Munro between March 1881 and November 1884 and sent to his friend Herbert Swanborough of Lowell, Massachusetts. Stark Munro is a recent graduate from medical school, and the letters detail his attempts to create a medical practice in partnership with the brilliant but unorthodox James Cullingworth. The novel is in fact a thinly-disguised account of Doyle's experiences with George Turnavine Budd with whom he was in partnership, before finally setting up his own practice in Plymouth in 1882.

    Dr. Stark Munro attempts to establish himself as a doctor in Great Britain in the 1880's. He corresponds with an American friend, Bertie, about religion, philosophy, his career and his odd colleague and sometimes-friend Cullingworth. This epistolary novel by the Sherlock Holmes author rambles and digresses along, but is an interesting portrayal of medical practice at the time, and features a somewhat argumentative natural philosopher (Dr. Munro). The reader may find the hero's attitudes offensive at times (Dr. Munro sometimes revels in offending), and despair at his continual allowances for Cullingworth, but it is hard not to admire a man who is loyal to his friends and his beliefs.
