The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau

This site provides information about a project to collect Henry David Thoreau's writing, all of it. When finished the work will comprise thirty volumes. What does this page do for the student or teacher? It provides several informative essays, including "Introduction to the Life and Times of Henry D. Thoreau" and "Walden after 150 Years." Also, the description of the project has good information about the plight of Thoreau's work, which apparently had fallen into the hands of "well-intentioned" amateurs whose contributions are "inaccurate and incomplete."
