Henry David Thoreau On the Duty of Civil Disobedience [1849, original title: Resistance to Civil Government] But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at one no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it. "Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, As his corse to the rampart we hurried; Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot O'er the grave where out hero was buried." "I am too high born to be propertied, To be a second at control, Or useful serving-man and instrument To any sovereign state throughout the world." He who gives himself entirely to his fellow men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them in pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist. How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave's government also. In their practice, nations agree with Paley; but does anyone think that Massachusetts does exactly what is right at the present crisis?

HENRY DAVID THOREAU "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." W ith these words Henry David Thoreau declared the purpose of his Walden experiment, the two years he spent in the Concord woods testing his belief in the ability of man to transcend his senses and attain a higher understanding of life. By the shores of Walden Pond where Thoreau lived from the land, he meditated, wrote poetry, and developed a philosophy of pacifism and a reverence for all living things that profoundly influenced 19th and 20th century thought. A rendering of Thoreau's cabin as it stood by Walden Pond from 1845-1847. Concord-born poet, philosopher, naturalist, essayist and educator, Thoreau represents one of the most authentic and individualist voices in all American thought. "No truer American ever lived," wrote Emerson of his friend. Thoreau was graduated from Harvard in 1837 and returned to his hometown in search of an occupation. Befriended by Emerson, who appreciated his purity and originality of thought and deed, Thoreau gave his first lecture before the Concord Lyceum in 1838, embarked with his brother John in 1839 on his first fluvial excursion along the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, gathering material for his later book, and published poetry and essayis in THE DIAL in 1840-1842.

From a poor family, like Emerson , he worked his way through Harvard. Throughout his life, he reduced his needs to the simplest level and managed to live on very little money, thus maintaining his independence. In essence, he made living his career. A nonconformist, he attempted to live his life at all times according to his rigorous principles. This attempt was the subject of many of his writings. Thoreau's masterpiece, Walden , or Life in the Woods (1854), is the result of two years, two months, and two days (from 1845 to 1847) he spent living in a cabin he built at Walden Pond on property owned by Emerson. In Walden , Thoreau consciously shapes this time into one year, and the book is carefully constructed so the seasons are subtly evoked in order. The book also is organized so that the simplest earthly concerns come first (in the section called "Economy," he describes the expenses of building a cabin); by the ending, the book has progressed to meditations on the stars.

Advertising Info Owl-Eyes Biography and Etexts Henry David Thoreau Click HERE for essays on Henry David Thoreau's novels and stories from The Paper Store. Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University. From 1841-1843, Thoreau lived in the house of Ralph Waldo Emerson and was introduced to the philosophy known as transcendentalism. In 1845, Thoreau moved to a hut on Walden Pond, just outside of Concord. There, he spent most of his time observing nature and medititating. He supported himself with odd jobs around the area, such as gardening and carpentry. Emerson joined him there from 1847-1848. Only two of Thoreau's works were published during his lifetime, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) and Walden ;or, Life in the Woods Walden , his most important work, chronicles Thoreau's meditations on non-materialism and reverence for nature. In "Civil Disobedience"(1849), Thoreau explained why he chose to go to jail instead of paying a poll tax which supported the Mexican War. This method of protest was later taken up by such peaceful revolutionaries as Mahandas Gandhi and by Martin Luther King, Jr. Other collections of Thoreau's writing were only published after his death. They include

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) Contributing Editor: Wendell P. Glick Classroom Issues and Strategies In my experience, an understanding of Thoreau rarely follows the initial exposure to his writings. The appreciation of the profundity and subtlety of his thought comes only after serious study, and only a few of the most committed students are willing to expend the necessary effort. Many, upon first reading him, will conclude: that he was a churlish, negative, antisocial malcontent; or that he advocated that all of us should reject society and go live in the woods; or that each person has complete license to do as he/she pleases, without consideration for the rights of others; or that he is unconscionably doctrinaire. His difficult, allusive prose, moreover, requires too much effort. All such judgments are at best simplistic and at worst, wrong. If an instructor is to succeed with Thoreau, strategies to meet these responses will need to be devised. The best, in my opinion, is to spend the time explicating to students key sentences and paragraphs in class and responding to questions. Above all, students must be given a knowledge of the premises of Romanticism that constitute Thoreau's world view. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
