The Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes: An Index of the Project Gutenberg Editions
1892
This 1892 index catalogs the remarkable breadth of Oliver Wendell Holmes, the 19th century's most polymathic voice: physician, poet, essayist, and intellectual provocateur. Holmes moved effortlessly between the operating room and the parlor, bringing sharp wit and scientific curiosity to bear on everything from medical philosophy to human relationships. This reference work maps his essential texts, including the beloved 'Autocrat at the Breakfast Table' essays that made him a household name, the controversial novel 'Elsie Venner,' and the 'Medical Essays' that established him as a forward-thinking practitioner. For readers curious about the mind that helped pioneer antiseptic techniques while also charming America with verse about the 'One-Hoss Shay,' this index provides the key to his entire corpus. Whether you seek his meditations on the human condition or his incisive social commentary, this catalog is your gateway to one of Victorian America's most entertaining and unpredictable thinkers.

“Olympia next, a creature half divine / Sprung from the blood of old Evander's line / Held her white arm that wore a twisted chain / Clasped with an opal-sherry cymophane.””
— Oliver Wendell Holmes
