Excursions presents texts of nine essays, including some of Henry D. Thoreau's most engaging and popular works, newly edited and based on the most authoritative versions of each. These essays represent Thoreau in many stages of his writing career, ranging from 1842--when he accepted Emerson's commission to review four volumes of botanical and zoological catalogues in an essay that was published in The Dial as Natural History of Massachusetts --to 1862, when he prepared Wild Apples, a lecture he ... Excursions presents texts of nine essays, including some of Henry D. Thoreau's most engaging and popular works, newly edited and based on the most authoritative versions of each. These essays represent Thoreau in many stages of his writing career, ranging from 1842--when he accepted Emerson's commission to review four volumes of botanical and zoological catalogues in an essay that was published in The Dial as Natural History of Massachusetts --to 1862, when he prepared Wild Apples, a lecture he had delivered during the Concord Lyceum's 1859-1860 season, for publication in the Atlantic Monthly after his death. Three other early meditations on natural history and human nature, A Winter Walk, A Walk to Wachusett, and The Landlord, were originally published in 1842 and 1843. Lively, light pieces, they reveal Thoreau's early use of themes and approaches that recur throughout his work. A Yankee in Canada, a book-length account of an 1850 trip to Quebec that was published in part in 1853, is a fitting companion to Cape Cod and The Maine Woods, Thoreau's other long accounts of explorations of internal as well as external geography. In the last four essays, The Succession of Forest Trees (1860), Autumnal Tints (1862), Walking (1862), and Wild Apples (1862), Thoreau describes natural and philosophical phenomena with a breadth of view and generosity of tone that are characteristic of his mature writing. In their skillful use of precisely observed details to arrive at universal conclusions, these late essays exemplify Transcendental natural history at its best.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: Excursions;Afmetingen: 14x234x156 mm;Gewicht: 481,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: augustus 2008;ISBN10: 055432413X;ISBN13: 9780554324135; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2008.
