From the publisher:"Walden is one of the most frequently assigned texts in literature classes across the country, and it might seem that little new could be said about such a popular book. But these essays demonstrate that scholarship on Henry David Thoreau continues to break new ground. Emerging new voices join senior scholars in exploring a range of topics: Walden's climb to fame; modes of representation in the text; the relationship between fact and truth; Thoreau and violence; Thoreau and evolutionary theory; the working community created by Thoreau's reading and labor; how women read Walden; and the relationship between politics, nature writing, and the science of ecology. The volume closes with an afterword suggesting directions for future research. Thoreau asserted that the leaves of the earth's strata were not page upon page to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, "but living poetry like the leaves of a tree." The continuing vitality of Walden shows that it, too, is not a fossil but a living book, still putting out green leaves of insight. Each decade since Walden was published in 1854 has seen the world grow more crowded and less "simple." What, in our consumerist, speed-of-light, hypermediated world would Thoreau have found worth pursuing? How would he structure his life so as to shut out the phones ringing, the cars honking, the litter trashing his beloved haunts? Readers still seek answers to such questions by picking up their dog-eared copy of Walden and immersing themselves yet again in its pages. Students convince us that this book still holds the power to change lives. These essays are written with the expectation that Thoreau in the new century can help us realize that there are more lives to live and more day to dawn-that "the sun is but a morning star." Contributors include Nina Baym, Robert Cummings, Robert Oscar López, Lance Newman, H. Daniel Peck, Dana Phillips, Larry J. Reynolds, David M. Robinson, William Rossi, Robert Sattelmeyer, Sarah Ann Wider, and Michael G. Ziser.". SIGNED by the EDITOR, Sandra Harbert Petrulionis. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed. Hardcover.

Offprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 345-359. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). With dedication by the author to Speed Hill. - An impeccable copy. - From the text: An ironic symmetry of literary history finds James Fenimore Cooper occupying today a position roughly analogous to the one in which his most memorable character, Natty Bumppo, stood during his own career. Immediately popular, despite Coopers manifest ambivalence about him, Bumppo was permitted to die in the third of the Leatherstocking Tales, The Prairie (1827), only to be resurrected in The Pathfinder (1840) and The Deerslayer (1841), novels in which he grows progressively younger, concluding his fictional career in the latter as a youth facing the first trials of manhood. Throughout the series he remains a figure invested with high cultural and even mythic significance, despite his obvious shortcomingsgarrulousness, digressiveness, obstinacy, and various retrograde social and political ideas. Likewise Cooper, once without question the most popular American novelist in the world, has managed to prevail against generations of critical neglect or scorn for his Eterary offenses and unpopular stands on social issues. Neither Mark Twains rechristening of the Leatherstocking saga as the Broken Twig series nor D. H. Lawrences description of Cooper as the National Grouch managed to dislodge him from his eminence as a progenitor of American fiction. - Robert Sattelmeyer (Professor of English, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211) writes on American literature and is an editor of Thoreaus Journal for the comprehensive scholarly edition currently in progress at Princeton University Press.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. 1st Edition. Cloth hardcover, xviii + 428 pages, 11 b&w plates in text, NOT ex-library. -- Clean, bright, untanned interior with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Gentle tearing along the gutter of the rear endpaper. Faint age-spotting and dusty marks on page edges externally. Dust jacket has a 2-inch tear in front lower corner, a few small tears/nicks to edges, scuffing to edges, faint shelfworn and dusty marks, some scratches, a bit of creasing along the edges; two stray red crayon lines on the front panel. -- "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is generally acknowledged along with "Moby-Dick" and "The Scarlet Letter" not only as one of the two or three greatest American fables, but also as a story that speaks perennially to the American experience, and it has generated some of the liveliest and perhaps most significant debates in American literary history. In 1985, the hundredth anniversary of the publication of the novel in this country, it remains controversial and provocative, even though a wealth of perceptive commentary has already been published. In twenty-five essays written specifically for this volume, a diverse group of scholars reassesses the novel's status in American literature and in contemporary American culture, reevaluating past scholarship and exploring new directions. Because the essays were written independently, they demonstrate enormous range in the approaches they take and the interests they address, but they share a freshness of perception that testifies to the continuing vitality of "Huck Finn" in the American imagination. As a study of an important novel, and more importantly as a biography of the book's first hundred years, this volume will be an essential reference for anyone interested in American literature or culture. -- Contents: Introduction: The Continuing Adventures of Huckleberry Finn / John C.
