Description
 
H.D. Thoreau
A Writer's Journal

The selections from Thoreau's journals that comprise this book have all been chosen with a single purpose in mind: to show Thoreau as the conscious artist he was.

Here are Thoreau's comments on the conditions for writing, how he created these conditions, and what were the ideals and purposes of his art.

Here, too are the actual experiments he carried out in search of a style -- experiments that led to the vigor and intensity of one of the greatest American classics, Walden.

Most of the material here has never appeared before in any other selection from Thoreau's journals. Miss Stapleton has included many of the longer sequences hitherto available only in the complete 14 volume edition, such as the accounts of an all day walk and an all night walk which show Thoreau experimenting with the continuity of observation.

The selection of passages is also planned to suggest the nature and mood of his projected book on Concord.

CONDITION:Softcover, 234 pages including index, Used lightly, clean
