520 "More than any other Transcendentalist of his time, Henry
David Thoreau (1817-1862) embodied the full complement of
the movement's ideals and vocations: author, advocate for
self-reform, stern critic of society, abolitionist,
philosopher, and naturalist. The Thoreau of our time -
valorized anarchist, founding environmentalist, and fervid
advocate of civil disobedience - did not exist in the
nineteenth century. In this rich and appealing collection,
Sandra Harbert Petrulionis untangles Thoreau's multiple
identities by offering a wide range of nineteenth-century
commentary as the opinions of those who knew him evolved
over time. The forty-nine recollections gathered in
Thoreau in His Own Time demonstrate that it was those who
knew him personally, rather than his contemporary literati,
who most prized Thoreau's message, but even those who
disparaged him respected his unabashed example of an
unconventional life. Included are comments by Ralph Waldo
Emerson - friend, mentor, Walden landlord, and progenitor
of the spin on Thoreau's posthumous reputation; Nathaniel
Hawthorne, who could not compliment Thoreau without
simultaneously denigrating him; and John Weiss, whose
extended commentary on Thoreau's spirituality reflects
unusual tolerance. Selections from the correspondence of
Caroline Healey Dall, Maria Thoreau, Sophia Hawthorne,
Sarah Alden Bradford Ripley, and Amanda Mather amplify our
understanding of the ways in which nineteenth-century
women viewed Thoreau. An excerpt by John Burroughs, who
alternately honored and condemned Thoreau, asserts his
view that Thoreau was ever searching for the unattainable.
The dozens of primary sources in this crisply edited
collection illustrate the complexity of Thoreau's
iconoclastic singularity in a way that no one biographer
could. Each entry is introduced by a headnote that places
the selection in historical and cultural context.
Petrulionis's comprehensive introduction and her detailed
chronology of personal and literary events in Thoreau's
life provide a lively and informative gateway to the
entries themselves. The collaborative biography that
Petrulionis creates in Thoreau in His Own Time
contextualizes the strikingly divergent views held by his
contemporaries and highlights the reasons behind his
profound legacy."--Project Muse.
