Gibian explores the role played by Oliver Wendell Holmes in what was known as America's 'Age of Conversation'. Combining social, intellectual, legal and literary history with textual analysis, and setting Holmes in dialogue with Emerson, Hawthorne and Melville, Gibian redefines our understanding of the writing of the American Renaissance.
