really liked it

bookshelves: literary-analysis, philosophy, transcendentalism

Do the ideas and philosophy of Henry David Thoreau have applications in our time? I have often wondered if much of Thoreauvian criticism is so esoteric that popular modern thought merely by-passes him and pretends that all ideas are fresh and new. This book decries that.
