Simple Walden, surely one of the most-assigned books in the US, would seem to have worn out its welcome in this wired, complicated, material world but these essays show the conversations Henry David Thoreau had with himself in his little cabin on the pond still matter. Topics include the place in the canon for Walden, its modes of representation, the lure of idealism, the lore of contemplation and violence, Thoreau's unsettling instincts, materialism found in Walden and Wild Fruits, the influence of Homer and the community, the view from women readers, the Georgic mode, the tension between agriculture and the environment, and the hurt that comes from leaving a pond we have never really touched but touches us.
