Synopsis
The Stark Munro Letters is an epistolary novel by Arthur Conan Doyle, published in 1895. Composed as a sequence of twelve letters written between 1881 and 1884, it follows the voice of J. Stark Munro, a young medical graduate who addresses an American friend. In his correspondence, Munro describes the difficulties of building his own medical practice while working under the guidance of the brilliant yet eccentric James Cullingworth. The letters also reflect on Munro’s personal struggles and growth, including questions of faith, the importance of family relationships, and a transition in spiritual outlook from Catholicism toward spiritualism.
