It was his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson, another inveterate journal keeper, who urged Thoreau to keep a record of his thoughts and observations. Begun in 1837, Thoreaus journal spans a period of twentyfive years and runs to more than two million words, coming to a halt only in 1861, shortly before the authors death. The handwritten journal had somewhat humble origins, but as it grew in scope and ambition it came to function as a record of Thoreaus interior life as well as the source for his books and essays. Indeed, it became the central concern of the authors literary life. Critics now recognize Thoreaus journal as an important artistic achievement in its own right.Making selections from the entirety of the journal, Cramer presents all aspects of Thoreau: writer, thinker, naturalist, social reformer, neighbor, friend. No other singlevolume edition offers such a full picture of Thoreaus life and work. Cramers annotations add to the readers enjoyment and understanding. He provides notes on the biographical, historical, and geographical contexts of Thoreaus life. The relation between Journal passages and the texts of works published in the authors lifetime receive special emphasis. A companion to Walden: A Fully Annotated Edition, this gift edition of the Journal will be dipped into and treasured, and it makes a welcome addition to any book lovers library.
