Writings of Henry D. Thoreau
He's  best known for the idyll he experienced on Walden Pond. In that calm setting, Thoreau would complete the works that define his name. Like many a creative soul, the renowned American writer, naturalist, and philosopher expressed himself in oeuvres ranging from poetry, essays, and manuscripts, to more intimate, informal writing such as personal letters and diaries. This site is dedicated to exposing the real man hidden between the lines and features complete handwritten letters and manuscripts for you to scrutinize. From 1837-1861, he penned a journal that served as his field guide and writer's notebook, and became the principle creative work of his career. In 47 candid volumes, Thoreau's private thoughts, his studies of the natural world, and his love for the American wild offer a truly transcendent experience. (in Literature > Authors) |
