Summary: A Rewarding Selection of Essays on WALDEN
Comment: Because I find myself more and more interested in Thoreau and his writings, because I have taught WALDEN a number of times, and because I wanted some new insights into WALDEN, I purchased this text. Sayre's introduction is scholarly and helpful. His selection of essays for inclusion in this volume show his awareness that WALDEN is not only a text with which a first reader will struggle, but also a text which will continue to reward a lifetime of study. These essays deepened my appreciation for WALDEN. None of them are overly complex; all offer substantial commentary and interpretations to challenge us to become better readers of WALDEN.

Summary: New Essays Enlightening
Comment: I purchased this book because I am a literary nut. I attend the University of Michigan, and would you belive it, the emphasis on Literature is geared towards British Lit. I mean, I have taken American Lit courses but Walden was all but ignored. This book is practically essential to understanding the work on a gradutate level. The only question I have is why is the editor of this book so resentful?
