REVIEW: Walden’s Shore: Henry David Thoreau and Nineteenth-Century Science (2014) by Robert M. Thorson

Abstract

Robert M. Thorson draws on the methodologies of bibliography studies, Ecocriticism, and the history of geology, and investigates another aspect of Thoreau’s career – that of a field geologist with a keen insight into the glaciated landscape of Concord during the late Pleistocene.
