No figure stands taller in the world of First Amendment law than
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. This is the first anthology of Justice
Holmes's writings, speeches and opinions concerning freedom of
expression. The book contains eight original essays designed to
situate Holmes's works in historical and biographical context. The
volume is enriched by extensive commentaries concerning its many
entries, which consist of letters, speeches, book excerpts,
articles, state court opinions and U.S. Supreme Court opinions. The
edited materials - spanning Holmes's 1861-1864 service in the Civil
War to his 1931 radio address to the nation - offer a unique view
of the thoughts of the father of the modern First Amendment. The
book's epilogue, which includes a major discovery about Holmes's
impact on American statutory law, explores Holmes's free speech
legacy. In the process, the reader comes to know Holmes and his
jurisprudence of free speech as never before.
