He also wrote historical novels, plays, and works of non-fiction, often exploring themes of spirituality and the supernatural. Despite his success, Doyle struggled with the overwhelming popularity of Holmes, which he once attempted to leave behind in favor of other literary pursuits.In addition to his literary career, Doyle was involved in various political and social issues, advocating for justice and serving as a public speaker.
