But scholars have since focused almost exclusively on Thoreau's literary, political, and scientific contributions. This book offers the first in-depth study of Thoreau's religious thought and experience. In it Alan D. Hodder recovers the lost spiritual dimension of the writer's life, revealing a deeply religious man who, despite his rejection of organised religion, possessed a rich inner life, characterised by a sort of personal, experiential, nature-centered, and eclectic spirituality that finds wider expression in America today. At the heart of Thoreau's life were episodes of exhilaration in nature that he commonly referred to as his ecstasies. Hodder explores these representations of ecstasy throughout Thoreau's writings, from the riverside reflections of his first book through Walden and the later journals, when he conceived of his journal writing as a spiritual discipline in itself and a kind of forum in which to cultivate experiences of contemplative non-attachment. In doing so, Hodder restores to our understanding the deeper spiritual dimension of Thoreau's life to which his writings everywhere bear witness. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Thoreau, Henry David,|d1817-1862|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095600|xReligion.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2002007663 600 14 Thoreau, Henry David,|d1817-1862. 600 16 Thoreau, Henry David,|d1817-1862|xReligion. 600 17 Thoreau, Henry David,|d1817-1862.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/29125 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800 - 1899|2fast 650 0 Religion and literature|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2010110646|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 7 Religion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1093763 650 7 Religion and literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1093839 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHodder, Alan D.|tThoreau's ecstatic witness.|dNew Haven : Yale University Press, ©2001 |z0300089597|z9780300089592|w(DLC) 2001033320 |w(OCoLC)46935695 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=187822|zOnline eBook.
