Description
The essays collected here are implicit tributes to Walden's variety. Each approaches the book from a particular angle, although all point to and unpack versions of the dualism that scholars have identified as its thematic engine. In so doing, the essays all grant authority to the book itself; they neither treat it as a cultural product nor pipe it through one or another uncongenial theoretical container. The split between action and contemplation, the opposition between nature as it is in detail and as it is made to serve the generalizing imagination, the clash between theology and science as these are applied to the natural world, the struggle between materialism and idealism, the use and rejection of literary predecessors, the conflict between wild nature and nature brought under the plow, the desire to transcend earth versus the desire to dig into it, the wish to escape one's body versus the yearning to live fully through one's body, the need to communicate versus the desire to say something never uttered before, the gap between the world and its representation in language--all these concerns so central to Walden are treated with refreshing originality and admirable precision in this collection. **********
