Announcing three volumes in The Spirit of Thoreau, a series published in cooperation with
the Thoreau Society
Nature’s Panorama
Thoreau on the Seasons
Bonds of Affection
Thoreau on Dogs and Cats
Daily Observations
Thoreau on the Days of the Year
Selections of Thoreau’s writings on particular themes, presented in attractive paperback editions with original engravings by Barry Moser
"How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book," wrote Henry David Thoreau in Walden. Today that book continues to provoke, inspire, and change lives all over the world, and each rereading is fresh and challenging. Yet as Thoreau's countless admirers know, there is more to the man than Walden. An engineer, poet, teacher, naturalist, lecturer, and political activist, he truly had multiple lives to lead, and each one speaks forcefully to us today.
Sponsored by the Thoreau Society, the brief, handsomely presented books in this series offer the thoughts of a great writer on a variety of topics, some that we readily associate with him, some that may be surprising. Each volume includes selections from his familiar published works as well as from less well known lectures, letters, and journal entries. The books include original engravings by renowned illustrator and book artist Barry Moser.
Ronald A. Bosco is Distinguished University Professor of English and American Literature at the University at Albany, past-president of the Thoreau Society, and chair of The Friends of Walden Pond Committee.
Wesley T. Mott is professor of English at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and series editor for the Thoreau Society.
Steve Grant is a journalist who writes on natural history and New England heritage topics for the Hartford Courant.
About the Thoreau Society
Founded in 1941, the Thoreau Society is the oldest and largest society in
the world devoted to the legacy of an American author. The Society draws members
from an unusually wide range of interests and professions. It operates the
Shop at Walden Pond, and its publications include the annual journal The Saunterer and the quarterly Thoreau Society Bulletin. In partnership with the Walden
Woods Project, it formed the Thoreau Institute at Walden Woods, an important
research and educational center, which houses the collections of the Thoreau
Society.
