Monumentally important and influential American author, philosopher, and naturalist (1817–1862) whose works take a place among the paramount texts of the Transcendentalist movement and of 19th-century literature as a whole. Rare ink signature, “Henry D. Thoreau, Concord, Mass,” on an off-white 5 x 1.5 slip. In very good condition, with overall foxing and toning. A bold example of one of literature's most sought-after figures, complimented by the addition of “Concord, Mass”—the central location of the Transcendentalist movement and setting of two of his greatest works, Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers.
