Walden

Résumé :


This handsome, affordable paperback edition of Walden is the most authoritative version of Thoreau's masterpiece to date. Jeffrey S. Cramer's newly edited text is based on the original 1854 edition of Walden, with emendations taken from Thoreau's draft manuscripts, his own markings on page proofs, and notes in his personal copy of the book. An introduction by Denis Donoghue places Thoreau's life and achievement in context.
Also included here are notes on the text, an afterword by the editor, and a helpful selected bibliography.
