This major study brings to light Thoreau's relation to the complex
economic discourse of his time and place. Specifically, it examines
the impact of transformations in economic thinking and behavior
that occurred in antebellum New England and America; these
transformations at the level of language; and Thoreau's awareness
of these transformations. Neufeldt situates Thoreau in significant
economic conditions of his time, investigating how these conditions
contained him even as he sought to contain them. Using Walden and
"Life without Principle," as main examples, the book considers the
questions of why and how Thoreau, who was very much shaped by his
culture and its conventions, also contested the limitations of
those conventions and used his condition to transform some of them.
Thoreau's identity as a literary artist who regarded his writing as
his cultural vocation is at the center of the discussion.
