This first volume of the Journal covers the early years of
Thoreau's rapid intellectual and artistic growth. The Journal
reflects his reading, travels, and contacts with Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Margaret Fuller, and other Transcendentalists. With
characteristic reticence, Thoreau mentions only a few episodes in
his emotional history: an ill-fated romance, the death of his elder
brother, and an unhappy sojourn on Staten Island, where he tried to
write for New York periodicals. Parts of Thoreau's Journal have
been published, but always with large omissions of text and with
considerable grooming of its erratic manuscript style. This edition
presents the entire surviving manuscript in a text preserving
Thoreau's words as he originally wrote them.
