The ultimate gift edition of Walden for bibliophiles, aficionados,
and scholars "Replaces all other available editions of Walden as
the most attractive and reliable way to approach this great
American book."-Joel Porte, author of Consciousness and Culture:
Emerson and Thoreau Reviewed This is the authoritative edition of
an American literaru classic: Henry David Thoreau's Walden, an
elegantly written record of his experiment in simple living. With
this edition, Thoreau scholar Jeffrey S. Cramer has meticulously
corrected errors and omissions from previous editions of Walden
andhere provides illuminating notes on the biographical,
historical, and geographical contexts of the great
nineteenth-century writer and thinker's life. Cramer's newly edited
text is based on the original 1854 edition of Walden, with
emendations taken from Thoreau's draft manuscripts, his own
markings on the page proofs, and notes in his personal copy of the
book. In the editor's notes to the volume, Cramer quotes from
sources Thoreau actually read, showing how he used, interpreted,
and altered these sources. Cramer also glosses Walden with
references to Thoreau's essays, journals, and correspondence. With
the wealth of material in this edition, readers will find an
unprecedented opportunity to immerse themselves in the unique and
fascinating world of Thoreau. Anyone who has read and loved Walden
willwant to own and treasure this gift edition. Those wishing to
read Walden forthe first time will not find a better guide than
Jeffrey S. Cramer.
