The Professor at the Breakfast Table with The Story of Iris is a book written by Oliver Wendell Holmes. It is a collection of essays that were originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in the late 19th century. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a series of essays written by the titular professor as he reflects on various topics, including science, literature, and philosophy. The second part of the book is a novella called The Story of Iris, which tells the story of a young woman who is forced to choose between two suitors. The book is known for its witty and insightful commentary on a variety of subjects, as well as its engaging storytelling. It is a classic work of American literature that continues to be read and enjoyed today.1859. American author, physician and father of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. He turned from a career as a general practitioner to the academic. He was also a contributor to the Atlantic Monthly (which he named), penning the famous series of Breakfast-table sketches, which are imaginary conversations at a Boston boardinghouse and reflective of Holmes¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s opinions, charm, and wit. The Professor at the Breakfast Table is a sequel to Holmes¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, a series of light and genial essays full of fancy and humor. The Professor is written somewhat in the manner of Sterne, yet without much artifice. The story of Iris is an interwoven thread of gold. The poems in this book are inferior to those of the Autocrat, but Holmes shows a gift for drawing real characters.
