Still, despite its ignominious end, Benedict Cumberbatch's version of Sherlock Holmes quite literally changed the face of Sherlockian fandom overnight, as studious middle-aged white men now found themselves sharing uneasy ground with a younger, more diverse, and more female audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow a full-fledged transmedia phenomenon, Sherlock Holmes can be any gender, ethnicity, or species, and is celebrated in fan fiction and fanvids, as well as conventions that are far more inclusive than Sherlock Holmes societies of the past. Vincent Starrett's poetic notion that Sherlock Holmes is a character \"who never lived and so can never die\" has never been more true, and the Digital Age promises any number of new versions of Sherlock Holmes to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 10, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801460597043,"sku":"9781804245941","price":34.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ZsBlt75dbb9781804245941_65b9ce9e-4d7f-4391-a392-09f42912f9f6.webp?v=1785968904","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/sherlock-holmes-the-hero-with-a-thousand-faces-volume-2-2nd-edition-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
