Henry David Thoreau's thinking about a number of issues - including
the relationship between humans and other species, just responses
to state violence, the threat posed to human freedom by industrial
capitalism, and the essential relation between scientific 'facts'
and poetic 'truths' - speaks to our historical moment as clearly as
it did to the 'restless, nervous, bustling, trivial Nineteenth
Century' into which he was born. This volume, marking the
two-hundredth anniversary of Thoreau's birth, gathers the threads
of the contemporary, interdisciplinary conversation around this key
figure in literary, political, philosophical, and environmental
thought, uniting new essays by scholars who have shaped the field
with chapters by emerging scholars investigating previously
underexplored aspects of Thoreau's life, writings, and activities.
Both a dispatch from the front lines of Thoreau scholarship and a
vivid demonstration of Thoreau's relevance for twenty-first-century
life and thought, Thoreau at 200 will be of interest for both
Thoreau scholars and general readers.
