"Explication of Holmes's didactic works, including A Mortal Antipathy and Over the Teacups, which substantiates Holmes as a serious writer of the New England Renaissance whose ideology of self-determination as an American value is as relevant to modern society as it was to the agrarian and industrial societies he addressed"--Provided by publisher
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
