Civil Disobedience, Solitude: And Life Without Principle (Literary Classics)
by Henry David Thoreau
Category: Literary Criticism

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) championed the belief that people of conscience were at liberty to follow their own opinions, and he wrote at length on subjects that either supported or explained his (at-the-time) controversial views. In these selections from his writings, we see Thoreau as individualist and opponent of injustice.
