About the Book

This study of Thoreau's transcendental work offers us the task of doing as Thoreau does, exhorting us to follow the patterns Thoreau sets up in Walden and to approach his work as an act of communication -- one that urges us to listen, to hear, and to act upon what he has to say: one that becomes a transformative experience. It is all too easy, however, to admire Thoreau's art and miss his meaning. Thoreau has constructed Walden on transparent overlays of meaning -- biography, literature, philosophy, and religion -- but in whatever way we read it, Thoreau's words are what work the communicative transformation of his readers. Form, meaning, and language are Thoreau's instruments for unearthing the truth, and Tripp steadfastly follows their spiraling movement down the concentric intricacies of Thoreau's message through the broad structure of Walden, section by section, chapter by chapter, sentence by sentence, word by word until at last they merge, patterns and purposes, form and idea, heaven and earth, at Walden Pond.

Review :
"Ramond Tripp has written a short, witty, wise, and above all a helpful book about Henry Thoreau. What Tripp comes to say is that Walden is true, that Transcententalism is a spiritual way for us to follow. This is a book for those who find or hope to find in Thoreau the key to a better life and a better world." --Robert D. Richardson, Jr., author of Henry Thoreau: A life of the Mind "Just a Thoreau placed himself squarely against the mercantile values of the nineteenth century, so Tripp places his own reading against the subtly materialistic epistemologies of the twentieth. The Walden that emerges is refreshingly sound and consistent in helping us see how life here and now, if attended to with all our faculties, opens into the voice of silence." --William Johnson, author of What Thoreau Said: Walden and the Unsayable
