As a unique feature, the Third Edition includes generous excerpts
from Thoreau's journal, reprinted by special arrangements with
Princeton University Press from the definitive edition of his
writings. Spanning the years 1845-54, these selections vividly
display Thoreau's intensive exploration of his local landscape; the
fusion of literary and natural history field work that informs
Walden, "Walking," and "Wild Apples"; and the growth of his
environmental imagination. "Reviews and Posthumous Assessments" for
this edition collects eight new reviews of Thoreau's antislavery
and late environmental essays as well as of Walden. To the
influential portraits of Thoreau by Ralph Waldo Emerson and James
Russell Lowell, the Third Edition adds John Burroughs's "Another
Word on Thoreau," his response to them and to his great
predecessor. "Recent Criticism" includes eighteen selections of the
best historical, political, philosophical, poststructuralist, and
environmental criticism of Thoreau's writing since the
mid-twentieth century. To classic pieces by E. B. White, Leo Marx,
Barbara Johnson, and Stanley Cavell, the Third Edition adds essays
by nine new contributors, among them Laurence Buell, Laura Dassow
Walls, Evan Carton, Robert A. Gross, Albert J. von Frank, Steven
Fink, and William Rossi. A Chronology of Thoreau's life and work,
new to the Third Edition, and an expanded and updated Selected
Bibliography are also included.
