Robert F. Sayre & Elizabeth Hall Witherell, editors

Here, in one volume for the first time, are the most important works of Henry David Thoreau. Walden and The Maine Woods are presented in full, in authoritative Library of America texts. They are joined by 27 essays that reflect Thoreau's speculative and probing cast of mind, including "Civil Disobedience," "Walking," and "Life Without Principle." The volume concludes with a generous selection of Thoreau's poems, presented here in versions from his journals and manuscripts. Ideal for the classroom, this is an unparalleled edition of a writer who has had a lasting influence on contemporary ideas about politics, society, and the environment.
