Henry Salt abandoned his mastership at Eton in the 1880s to devote
himself to causes including vegetarianism, socialism, animals'
rights, conservation and prison reform. In 1890 he published the
initial version of Thoreau's "Life". With the help of American
friends, he revised the book and published it anew in 1896. This
third version is Salt's final reading of Thoreau based on works
published up to 1908, including Thoreau's complete "Journal".
Combining a narrative of Thoreau's life with a treatment of his
ideas and writings, it is a penetrating study of Thoreau, which
stresses his distinctive individuality. Through analysis of the
text and a concise biography, the editors illustrate Salt's growth
as a scholar and his changing views on Thoreau and Thoreau's
philosophy. The introduction details Salt's stylistic improvements
to the 1908 edition as well as the inclusion of anecdotes and facts
gathered from Samuel Arthur Jones, F.B. Sanborn, Ernest W. Vickers,
Raymond Adams, Fred Hosmer and Gandhi. This book is suitable for
scholars of Thoreau and readers interested in Thoreau, American
Transcendentalism or American literature.
