“The Imagination
of Insurance: Wallace Stevens and Benjamin Lee Whorf at the Hartford.” Legal Studies Forum 24(3 & 4)
(2001): 481-92.
In the 1990s I had done quite a lot of work on a book--to be called Genius at Work--that would use Gruber's method to study several individuals who did your creative work "on the side" while holding down full-time jobs in another profession. I still hope to finish it one day, with, I now think, a focus on the Hartford Insurace Company, which for a time employed both the great poet Wallace Stevens and the amateur, but seminal, linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf.
This essay was a gleaning from that project.
