American Nature Writing: Henry David Thoreau and “Green Thinking” in Literature

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the most intensive and, respectively, most productive last decade of Henry David Thoreau’s writerly/intellectual life when the environmental awareness declared in all his work – essays, Journal, his last two full-length books – becomes more and more thorough and emphatical. Dealing with major late essays such as “Walking,” “Autumnal Tints,” and “Wild Apples,” as well as with Thoreau’s late books “Cape Cod” and “The Maine Woods”, the article underscores the nuances in Thoreau’s mature and already overtly ecocentrical thinking, thus pointing up the masterly beginning of American “green writing” – this specifically American tradition of nature writing the study of which laid the foundations of US ecocriticism.
