书籍简介

作为一个独特的功能，第三版包括梭罗日记的大量节选，这些节选是与普林斯顿大学出版社特别安排的，从他的著作的版本中重印出来的。这些节选跨越了1845-54年，生动地展示了梭罗对当地景观的深入探索；文学和自然史实地工作的融合，为《瓦尔登湖》、《散步》和《野苹果》提供了素材；以及他环境想象力的成长。

本版的 "评论和遗体评估 "收集了八篇关于梭罗的反奴隶制和后期环境文章以及《瓦尔登湖》的新评论。除了拉尔夫-瓦尔多-爱默生和詹姆斯-拉塞尔-洛厄尔对梭罗有影响力的描述外，第三版还增加了约翰-巴勒斯的 "关于梭罗的另一个说法"，这是他对他们和他伟大的前辈的回应。

"近期的批评 "包括自20世纪中期以来对梭罗写作的历史、政治、哲学、后结构主义和环境批评的18个选段。除了E.B.White、Leo Marx、Barbara Johnson和Stanley Cavell的经典作品外，第三版还增加了9位新作者的文章，其中包括Laurence Buell、Laura Dassow Walls、Evan Carton、Robert A. Gross、Albert J. von Frank、Steven Fink和William Rossi。

第三版新增了梭罗的生活和工作年表，以及扩大和更新的书目选编。

As a unique feature, the Third Edition includes generous excerpts from Thoreau's journal, reprinted by special arrangements with Princeton University Press from the definitive edition of his writings. Spanning the years 1845-54, these selections vividly display Thoreau's intensive exploration of his local landscape; the fusion of literary and natural history field work that informs Walden, "Walking," and "Wild Apples"; and the growth of his environmental imagination.

"Reviews and Posthumous Assessments" for this edition collects eight new reviews of Thoreau's antislavery and late environmental essays as well as of Walden. To the influential portraits of Thoreau by Ralph Waldo Emerson and James Russell Lowell, the Third Edition adds John Burroughs's "Another Word on Thoreau," his response to them and to his great predecessor.

"Recent Criticism" includes eighteen selections of the best historical, political, philosophical, poststructuralist, and environmental criticism of Thoreau's writing since the mid-twentieth century. To classic pieces by E. B. White, Leo Marx, Barbara Johnson, and Stanley Cavell, the Third Edition adds essays by nine new contributors, among them Laurence Buell, Laura Dassow Walls, Evan Carton, Robert A. Gross, Albert J. von Frank, Steven Fink, and William Rossi.

A Chronology of Thoreau's life and work, new to the Third Edition, and an expanded and updated Selected Bibliography are also included.

作者简介

亨利-戴维-梭罗几乎一生都在马萨诸塞州的康科德村度过，他于1817年在那里出生。1837年从哈佛大学毕业后，他与超验主义运动中重要的人物、作家兼哲学家拉尔夫-瓦尔多-爱默生建立了深厚的友谊。爱默生强调培养直觉和经验是个人和社会启蒙的关键，这深刻地影响了梭罗。1845年，梭罗在瓦尔登湖附近爱默生拥有的一块土地上建造了一个小木屋，他在那里生活了两年之久，寻求与自然、社会和自我的新关系。他在那里的经历是他的杰作《瓦尔登湖，或森林中的生活》的原材料。尽管梭罗是一个作家和户外活动家，但他还做过测量员和杂工，是一个积极的废奴主义者和战争及帝国主义的反对者。他于1862年死于肺结核。威廉-罗西是俄勒冈大学的英语副教授。他是《野苹果和其他自然历史论文》的编辑，《亨利-D-梭罗，杂志3：1848-1851》和《杂志6》（普林斯顿大学出版社）的共同编辑，并撰写了许多关于美国文学的文章。

Henry David Thoreau spent almost his entire life in the village of Concord, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1817. After graduating from Harvard College in 1837, he developed a deep friendship with the writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, the foremost figure in the Transcendentalist movement. Emerson's emphasis on the cultivation of intuition and experience as keys to personal and social enlightenment profoundly influenced Thoreau. In 1845, Thoreau built a small cabin on a parcel of land Emerson owned near Walden Pond, where he lived for most of two years, seeking a new relationship to nature, society, and his own self. His experiences there are the raw material of his masterpiece, Walden, or Life in the Woods. Although he was first and last a writer and outdoorsman, Thoreau worked as a surveyor and handyman and was an active abolitionist and opponent of war and imperialism. He died in 1862 of tuberculosis. William Rossi is Associate Professor of English at the University of Oregon. He is the editor of Wild Apples and Other Natural History Essays, co-editor of Henry D. Thoreau, Journal 3: 1848-1851 and Journal 6 (Princeton University Press), and author of numerous articles on American literature.
