The Correspondence of Henry D. Thoreau: Volume 1: 1834 - 1848 (Writings of Henry D Thoreau)
"Thoreau's letters unquestionably enlarge understanding of his character. The personality who emerges is not just cold, impassive, and stoic but also witty, playful, and sociable, not just reclusive and idealistic but also engaged and practical."--Choice"In short,The Correspondence of Henry D. Thoreauis a model of documentary editing. Editors of other authors would do well to follow the example set by Hudspeth and the Princeton edition."--Kevin J. Hayes,New England Quarterly
