"**Micah Clarke**" is a historical adventure novel by Arthur Conan Doyle, published in 1889, set during the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 in England. The bildungsroman follows Micah Clarke's journey from a naive boy to a seasoned soldier of fortune, amidst the historical backdrop of the Monmouth Rebellion. The novel delves into the religious dimension of the conflict, depicting Micah's disillusionment with religious extremism and his ultimate belief in toleration. Notable historical figures like Judge Jeffreys are intricately characterized, with speculation that Wilde's "Dorian Gray" may have been influenced by Doyle's portrayal. The novel has been adapted into radio plays, and it's noted that both Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde were invited to write novels for Lippincott's Monthly Magazine after a dinner party. The friendship between the two authors remained distant, and there's debate about whether Wilde truly liked "Micah Clarke." Doyle's characterization of Judge Jeffreys is discussed, with speculation about its influence on Wilde's "Dorian Gray." The book also provides references and external links for further exploration.
