Biography
of the autor.
Arthur Conan Doyle was
born May 22, 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The family surname had
been Doyle, but as an adult Arthur preferred to use Conan Doyle as his surname.
He was suddenly an
extremely famous writer.
The magazine wanted
more stories, but as
the author didn't want to be too associated with the now-famous detective.
Sherlock Holmes it was created in 1880.
Inspirate of the character.
Sherlock Holmes was inspired
by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Royal
Infirmary of Edinburgh.
Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from
the smallest observations.
Some years later Bell wrote in a
letter to Conan Doyle: "you are yourself Sherlock Holmes and well you know
it."
Sherlock Holmes
An estimate of Holmes's age in
the story "His Last Bow" places his birth in 1854.
He spent six years of university working as a
consulting detective, before financial difficulties led him to take Watson as a
roommate, at which point the narrative of the stories begins.
Watson
Holmes lives with for some time
with Watson, before his marriage in 1887, and again after his wife's death.
Holmes's friendship with Watson is his most
significant relationship. In several stories, Holmes's fondness for Watson is
revealed
He gives practical assistance in the conduct of
his cases and is the detective's right-hand man.
Most of the Holmes stories are
frame narratives, written from Watson's point of view as summaries of the
detective's most interesting cases.
Habits and
personality
Watson describes Holmes as
"bohemian" in habits and lifestyle. Holmes is an eccentric, with no
regard for contemporary standards of tidiness or good order.
What appears to others as chaos,
however, is to Holmes a wealth of useful information.
Holmes would dive into his apparent mess of
random papers and artefacts to retrieve precisely the specific document or
eclectic item he was looking for.
Methods of
detections
Holmes's primary intellectual
detection method is abductive reasoning.
It is interesting to logicians
to try to analyse just what Holmes is doing when he performs his
"deductions."
Holmes displays a strong
aptitude for acting and disguise. In several stories, he adopts disguises to
gather evidence.

-The beginnings in England
-The main sectors.
-The growing of the
industry.

external factors.
-And the consequences.
1.- General situation.
In the XVIII and XIX
century we can find the Old Regime and the New Regime.
OLD REGIME:
In the politic of the
old regime there was the absolutism and the parlamentarism. The absolutism was
based in the King and all his power and there was in almost all Europe. However
the parlamentarism was only in England and the decisions of the King were
controlled by the Parliament.
The economy was based in
the trade (specifically in the over sea trade) and in the mercantilism which
consisted in the accumulation of gold.
The society was divided
in Privileged and no Privileged.
NEW REGIME:
The politic of the old
regime consisted in liberalism or separation of the power in 3. In the economy
there was the liberal capitalism and in the society the states disappeared and
took place the class society divided in middle class and proletarian.
2.- The period.
The Industrial
Revolution started in the United Kingdom in 1750 until 1914 with the 1st
world war.
-It had two periods and
a big depression. The 1st period was from 1750 to 1870, the big
depression from 1870 to 1900 and the 2nd period from 1870 to 1914.
3.- The beginnings of the Industrial Revolution in
England.
England was the motor of
the Industrial Revolution because it had some conditions and special factor.
The conditions were the
increase of the agrarian production, the abundant workmanship and enough
capital to invest in the factories.
The special factors were
the trade expansion, the technical innovations and the new business mentality.
4.- Main sectors.
The main sectors were
the textile industry, the steel industry and the railroad.
With the textile
industry started the mechanization and the technical innovations were very
important because of the machines. The prime matter was the cotton.
With the increase of the
textile industry and the machines the steel industry grew too. The main prime
matter was the iron. As a consequence of these two industries appeared the
railroad which was the only land transport and an agent of social and economic
changes.
5.- The growing of the industry.
The fast growing and
expansion of the industry generated 2 Europes: the advanced one was the
industrialized (England, France or Germany) and the no advanced was the no
industrialized (Spain, Hungary or Russia).
6.- The capitalism.
The capitalism was a new
economy system that arises from the Industrial Revolution. It had 2 period and
a big crisis. The ideologist was Adam Smith.
In the 1st
period the capital was from familiar origin and there was free trade, one of
the basis of the capitalism.
The effects of the big
crisis started in 1870 with the over production but it was very strong in 1873.
The consequences were the unemployment and the financial capitalism.
The 2nd
period was from the end of the big crisis to the 1st world war. It
appeared new sectors like the electricity and the chemistry. USA and Japan
became the new world power out of Europe.

WE COULDN'T EMBED THE WORD DOCUMENT, SO YOU CAN SEE THE TEXT BELOW:
PURITANISM
The Puritanism is a religious movement that
appeared in England during the 16th and 17th century.
It included every protestant religious group,
especially Calvinists, which defended a bigger purity in the adoration and in
the doctrine. It also defended Pietism (return to the origins of
Protestantism).
It criticized the Church of England because
puritans said that its way of working was too close to the Catholic Church. So
they wanted to break at last any relationship between Catholicism and
Protestantism.
Main
ideas
- The king cannot be the maximum authority of the church; God must reign over the people
- They highlight Christ image
- People’s life must be humble and obedient
- Absolute moral purity
- Personal study of the Bible
- They don’t celebrate traditional celebrations like Christmas
- God’s grace reforms the people
- Sunday is absolutely dedicated to the 10 commandments
- They punished sexual relations outside marriage and drunkenness, although they can drink alcohol in moderation
History
At first this movement was pursued all over
England by the Church of England, so most of puritans had to live the country.
A big part of this people travelled to the
United States, especially to the regions of New England, Massachusetts and
Virginia. It also extended to several Europeans countries like Switzerland,
Scotland and the Netherlands.
During the beginning of the movement, it was
supported by the Calvinism, created by John Calvin.
At the end of the 16th century
Puritanism had been divided in two branches:
- Presbyterianist: that was pretty close to the ideas of the Calvinism
- Congregationalists: more radical, that wanted the full freedom of the Puritanism.
So, in conclusion, although it was created in
England it didn’t reach enough popularity, over there, but it had a great
incidence in the United States especially in the state that we have already
mentioned before.
Main
theoretical of Puritanism
There were a lot of important people who practiced
and defended the Puritanism but the most important ones are:
- Stephen Charnock
- William Bates
- Richard Baxter
Present
We can say that Puritanism is over since the
end of the 17th century.
Moreover we can also say that nowadays the word
Puritanism is used in a despective way.
