Nationalism and the Nature of Thoreau's “Walking”

Andrew Menard
Publisher: Journals Gateway
The New England Quarterly (2012) 85 (4): 591–621.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1162/TNEQ_a_00229
Published: 01 December 2012
Abstract

The author traces this view to the works of Francis Bacon, John Locke, Archibald Alison, Horace Bushnell, and the liberalism of nineteenth-century New England Whigs.
