Walden Henry David Thoreau, Jeffrey S. Cramer, Jeffrey S. Cramer, Denis Donoghue

This edition of "Walden" renders previous versions of Thoreau's greatest work obsolete. 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 elegantly produced paperback, it has been priced especially with the student market in mind. 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.

Jeffrey S. Cramer is curator of collections, The Thoreau Institute at Walden Woods. He is the editor of Thoreau on Freedom: Attending to Man. Selected Writings of Henry David Thoreau.

"Jeffrey Cramer's "Walden" is the most accurate and readable text of Thoreau's masterpiece. Cramer's version now replaces all other available editions of "Walden" as the most attractive and reliable way to approach this great American book."--Joel Porte, author of "Consciousness and Culture: Emerson and Thoreau Reviewed
