Thoreau in His Own Time - A Biographical Chronicle of His Life, Drawn from Recollections,

Informationen zum Autor Author of To Set This World Right: The Antislavery Movement in Thoreau's Concord , editor of Journal 8: 1854 in The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau , and coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of Transcendentalism and More Day to Dawn: Thoreau's "Walden" for the Twenty-First Century , Sandra Harbert Petrulionis is a professor of English and American Studies and the program coordinator for Letters, Arts, and Sciences at Penn State Altoona. Klappentext More than any other Transcendentalist of his time, Henry David Thoreau embodied the full complement of the movement's ideals and vocations. The Thoreau of our time - valorized anarchist, founding environmentalist, and fervid advocate of civil disobedience - did not exist in the nineteenth century. In this rich and appealing collection, Sandra Harbert Petrulionis untangles Thoreau's multiple identities by offering a wide range of nineteenth-century commentary as the opinions of those who knew him evolved over time.
