Thoreau's political writing is intensely personal and direct. Both his life and work focus uncompromisingly on the question
'how should I live?', and for Thoreau, no element of day-to-day existence is left untouched by moral and political issues.
This 1996 edition of Thoreau's political essays includes 'Civil Disobedience', selections from Walden, 'Life Without Principle',
and the anti-slavery addresses, such as 'Slavery in Massachusetts'. In her introduction, Nancy L. Rosenblum places the essays
in the context of Thoreau's life of self-examination, and the debates about the abolition of slavery, and she analyses the
themes of citizenship and resistance that have made Thoreau an enduring influence in political philosophy and practice.
