An enthusiastic and intelligent interpretation of the Sage of
Walden, by an eminent critic, formerly with The Nation. Well-
written, closely reasoned book which adroitly intertwines the life
of Henry Thoreau and his work, making clear their intimate
connection and at the same time analyzing the significance of the
writings, stressing the importance of the voluminous, only partly
published Journal. Krutch is a somewhat despairing admirer of
Thoreau's cult of simplicity- feeling that its lesson might have
saved us some of today's morass. He has some interesting ideas on
Emerson's influence - taking issue with some critics who give it
too much stress. And he traces Thoreau's importance as a
revolutionist and reformer - a facet increasingly accepted today.
Appreciation in sensitive and literary circles will great this
work. (Kirkus Reviews)
