The imaginative prose of Oliver Wendell Holmes

Holmes's imaginative prose: form and contents

The Autocrat as an account of existential doubt

The power of silence and the limits of discourse at the professor's breakfast table

The denial of freedom in Elsie Venner: Holmes's romance of destiny

The vindication of freedom in The guardian angel

The rise of the specialist and the eclipse of the humanist at the poet's breakfast table

Morality in the new society in A mortal antipathy

Over the teacups as an account of senescence and a last testament.
