***********

“Jeffrey Cramer’s Walden is the most accurate and readable text of Thoreau’s masterpiece.  Cramer’s version now replaces all other available editions of Walden as the most attractive and reliable way to approach this great American book.” — Joel Porte, author of Consciousness and Culture: Emerson and Thoreau Reviewed 

"Thoreau’s masterpiece — here freshly refurbished by Jeffrey S. Cramer — speaks to our material and spiritual condition as powerfully as on the day it first appeared.  Now, more than ever, Walden is our indispensable American book." — Alan D. Hodder, Professor of Comparative Religion, Hampshire College, and author of Thoreau's Ecstatic Witness
