In his 1862 eulogy for Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson
reflected that his friend ""dedicated his genius with such entire
love to the fields, hills, and waters of his native town, that he
made them known and interesting to all reading Americans, and to
people over the sea."" Finding Thoreau traces the reception of
Thoreau's work from the time of his death to his ascendancy as an
environmental icon in the 1970s, revealing insights into American
culture's conception of the environment. Moving decade by decade
through this period, Richard W. Judd unveils a cache of commentary
from intellectuals, critics, and journalists to demonstrate the
dynamism in the idea of nature, as Americans defined and redefined
the organic world around them amidst shifting intellectual,
creative, and political forces. This book tells the captivating
story of one writer's rise from obscurity to fame through a
cultural reappraisal of the work he left behind.
