Michael J. Crowe suggests that nearly all the Holmes stories exhibit the pattern known as a Gestalt shift, in which suddenly Holmes?s efforts reveal a new perspective on the case, typically identifying the culprit(s) and resolving the case. Drawing on ideas presented by Thomas S. Kuhn in his famous Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), Crowe argues that similar to the way that Kuhn applied the idea of a Gestalt shift to the history of science, this approach can be used to reveal the structure of the Holmes stories and possibly be applied to some other areas of fiction. 600 10 $a Holmes, Sherlock. 600 10 $a Doyle, Arthur Conan, $d 1859-1930 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Doyle, Arthur Conan, $d 1859-1930 $x Sherlock Holmes. $x Sherlock Holmes. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories, English $x History and criticism. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783319982915 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202013132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=633D7B5626B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
