A Thoreau Gazetteer

More about the book

Focusing on the geographical and imaginative landscapes Thoreau explores, this book offers maps that guide readers through his actual travels across Massachusetts, Maine, Canada, Cape Cod, and Minnesota. For literal readers, these maps serve as a practical tool for tracing Thoreau's journeys, while for those interpreting his work figuratively, they represent the symbolic settings that reflect his artistic vision. The gazetteer invites readers to engage with Thoreau's world, whether through a literal or metaphorical lens.
