| Abstract | "Warren argues that Thoreau's botanical studies and excursions during the last decade of his life constitute a new way of approaching his literary works, both published and unpublished. The book focuses on the practices of plant-thinking, including the repeated daily excursions to swamps, fields, and forests of the Concord neighborhood and to the farther reaches of Maine and Cape Cod"-- Provided by publisher. |
