This biography of Henry Thoreau offers insight into his social activism, his interest in fine arts, William Gilpin and John Ruskin's influence on his nature writing, and his involvement in, and influence by, the Agassiz-Darwin debate over "The Origin of Species."
Media Reviews
"A splendidly well-written book....Richardson's critical discussions of the journals, "Walden", "Cape Cod", and other works are invariably illuminating and cast a new light on Thoreau's sometimes cross-grained but fascinating personality."
