| Arthur Conan Doyle Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous author of Sherlock Holmes detective fiction, earned an infamous position in the history of Mormon literature by setting one of his works, A Study in Scarlet, in the nineteenth-century Mormon west as this had been uncritically and sensationally misrepresented in American pulp fiction (as did Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack London, and Zane Grey). Michael Austin discusses this phenomenon in his "The Function of Mormon Literary Criticism at the Present Time". Also see Jack Tracy's Conan Doyle and the Latter-Day Saints.
