About this book
Selections From the Writings of Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (1809-1894) gathers representative prose and verse from across the long career of the Boston physician, professor, and essayist. Holmes produced the Breakfast-Table series of table-talk volumes, three novels including Elsie Venner, biographies of Motley and Emerson, medical essays of permanent scientific importance, and sixty years of poetry from Old Ironsides to the late elegies. A selection drawn from this range shows the wit, the scientific cast of mind, and the metrical fluency that made Holmes one of the most quoted American writers of the nineteenth century. The anthology format gives new readers a working introduction to an author whose complete works run to many volumes.
