5.0 out of 5 stars
Showing importance of father of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,
By Hamp (New England) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Imaginative Prose of Oliver Wendell Holmes (Hardcover)
Excellent treatment of famous Supreme Court justice's once very famous father. Places many of Holmes, Sr's issues and strengths into current context of the decline of the "public intellectual." Offers a convincing and wide-ranging reading bringing Holmes into larger search for an "American vision" of the best society and the problems of pluralistic culture. Fine example of recent American Studies (and political philosophy) still emphasizing the connections between daily social life and the foundation of long-lasting community in a heterogeneous world. Should lead to re-readings of Holmes' major works. Readable by non-specialists.
