Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) lived and died in Concord, Massachusetts, USA. He was an essayist and poet. He studied at Harvard University, became a teacher, and c.1839 began his walks and studies of nature which became his major occupations. From 1845-47 he lived in a shanty he built himself in the woods by Walden Pond, near Concord, where his writings included the American classic Walden, or Life in the Woods (1854).

He supported himself by general jobs, and occasionally lectured and wrote for magazines. After his death, several books were published, based on his daily journal (from 1835) of his walks and observations, such as Summer 1884) and Winter (1887). His social criticism and his championing of individualism were widely influential. His work Civil Disobedience influenced Gandhi and Martin Luther King, among others.

The Thoreau Reader  web site includes three complete books and four essays by Thoreau, with annotated text for Walden and Civil Disobedience, and other Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Walden links.
