This new selection of Thoreau's essays traces his trajectory as a
writer for the outlets of his day-the periodical press, newspapers,
and compendiums-and as a frequent presenter on the local lecture
circuit. By arranging the writings chronologically, the volume
re-creates the experience of Thoreau's readers as they followed his
developing ideas over time. Jeffrey S. Cramer, award-winning editor
of six previous volumes of works by Thoreau, offers the most
accurate text available for each essay and provides convenient
on-page annotations. He establishes context and guides the reader
through unfamiliar allusions and references, plumbing the depths of
Thoreau's writings with unprecedented insight. Among the essays in
this book: * The Last Days of John Brown * Resistance to Civil
Government [Civil Disobedience] * Thomas Carlyle and His Works *
Natural History of Massachusetts * and many more
