About the author

Oliver Wendell Holmes

1809–1894

Best known for blending sharp wit with warm, readable prose, this Boston writer moved easily between literature and medicine. He wrote the beloved "Breakfast-Table" essays, belonged to the Fireside Poets, and also helped push American medicine toward more modern scientific practice.
