The Hidden Holmes

Mehr zum Buch

Challenging the established view of Oliver Wendell Holmes, this book argues against the perception of him as a strict legal formalist in tort law. David Rosenberg contends that Holmes did not universally advocate negligence rules solely to support industrial growth, but rather had a more nuanced approach to legal principles. The author presents compelling evidence, urging readers to reconsider Holmes' legacy and the implications of his work on the development of tort law in the twentieth century.
