Oliver Wendell Holmes, last link to Boston literary age
The death of Oliver Wendell Holmes ends a era as the last survivor among Boston’s great writers. Born 1808 in Cambridge, he studied at Phillips Academy and Harvard, edited college papers, contributed poetry and prose, and pursued medicine in Europe before returning to a noted literary career. He merged humor with philosophy in works like Autocrat and Ode to the Sea, influencing American letters alongside Emerson and Hawthorne. His passing marks a somber close to the Cambridge literary tree.
