Description

This essay places Holmes and Watson among the greatest creations of the Western literary imagination and explores the archetypes that have contributed to Holme's universal appeal. Holme's intuitive methods are shown to be based on a misinterpretation of medical diagnostics. The appendix provides the first quantitative stylistic analysis of the Holmes canon.
