- Synopsis
- For this second edition, the volume previously edited by the late Owen Thomas has been updated in every respect. A few changes have been made to the Walden text, based on comparisons with prior manuscript versions and with Thoreau's corrected page proofs and additions to his own copy of the book. These and all other emendations of the 1854 text of Walden are summarized in a table of textual variants. The original placement of Thoreau's map of Walden Pond and the title of his famous essay have been restored, and annotations for both texts have been added or revised as necessary. This second edition features an expanded selection of passages from Thoreau's Journal, composed over the entire nine-year period during which he wrote, rethought, and extensively revised Walden and in which the Journal itself became a distinct imaginative work.
