First edition of Arthur Conan Doyle's third novel Micah Clarke
First edition of Doyle's third novel. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel, patterned endpapers, 16 pp. publisher's advertisements at rear. In very good condition.
Doyle's third novel, Micah Clarke takes the form of a bildungsroman whose protagonist, Micah Clarke, begins as a boy seeking adventure in a rather romantic and naïve way, falls under the influence of an older and vastly experienced, world-weary soldier of fortune, and becomes a grown up after numerous experiences, some of them very harrowing. At the conclusion he must go into exile as a hunted outlaw, becomes a soldier of fortune himself and is launched on lifetime military career. In the process the book also records much of the history of the Monmouth Rebellion of 17th century England.
