From 1837 to 1861 Thoreau kept a Journal that began as a
conventional record of ideas, grew into a writer's notebook, and
eventually became the principal imaginative work of his career. The
source of much of his published writing, the Journal is also a
record of both his interior life and his monumental studies of the
natural history of his native Concord, Massachusetts. In contrast
to earlier editions, the Princeton Edition reproduces the Journal
in its original and complete form, in a reading text that is free
of editorial interpolations but keyed to a comprehensive scholarly
apparatus.
This volume spans a period of rapid change in Thoreau's life and
literary career, including the publication of his first book and a
crisis in his friendship with Emerson, during which the Journal
assumes its mature form as the extensive, regular, and dated record
of his studies of and reflections on the natural and human life of
the Concord region.
