Well known for his contrarianism and solitude, Henry David Thoreau
was nonetheless deeply responsive to the world around him. His
writings bear the traces of his wide-ranging reading, travels,
political interests, and social influences. Henry David Thoreau in
Context brings together leading scholars of Thoreau and
nineteenth-century American literature and culture and presents
original research, valuable synthesis of historical and scholarly
sources, and innovative readings of Thoreau's texts. Across
thirty-four chapters, this collection reveals a Thoreau deeply
concerned with and shaped by a diverse range of environments,
intellectual traditions, social issues, and modes of scientific
practice. Essays also illuminate important posthumous contexts and
consider the specific challenges of contextualizing Thoreau today.
This collection provides a rich understanding of Thoreau and
nineteenth-century American literature, political activism, and
environmentalist thinking that will be a vital resource for
students, teachers, scholars, and general readers.
