THOREAU, HENRY DAVID
<b>311. HENRY DAVID THOREAU</b> (1817 - 1862) American author and naturalist, one of the most influential figures in American thought and literature. A supreme individualist, he championed the human spirit against materialism and social conformity. His most famous book, <i>Walden</i> (1854), is an eloquent account of his experiment in near-solitary living in close harmony with nature. Very rare, very bold signature "<i>Henry D. Thoreau</i>" on a narrow slip, closely-cut at bottom just grazing the bottom of the "<i>y</i>". Mounted, very good.<b> $600-800</b>
