Picturing Thoreau: Henry David Thoreau in American Visual Culture

by Mark W. Sullivan

Book Overview

This book examines 30 portraits of Henry David Thoreau that were done by American artists between 1854 and the present day. Although Thoreau's features have been "used" in a bewildering variety of ways to convey a host of messages, there is a remarkable consistency and relevance for us today, in what he was trying to convey to his fellow Americans.
