Reviews

At last, an account that takes Thoreau seriously as a political thinker and makes an unconventional but persuasive case that Thoreau was deeply concerned with our political community: its citizens, its values and institutions, and its future. This is a fascinating book that is easy to recommend.--Robert Booth Fowler, author of The Dance with Community: The Contemporary Debate in American Political Thought This lucid and engaging reinterpretation of Thoreau's political thought is at once bold and nuanced. The book gives us a fresh appreciation for Thoreau's importance as a political theorist and critic without ignoring or slighting Thoreau's troubling limitations.--Richard Ellis, author of Presidential Lightning Rods: The Politics of Blame Avoidance
