| Description: |
Branka Arsic shows that Thoreau developed a theory of vitalism in response to his brother's death. Through grieving, he came to see life as a generative force into which everything dissolves and reemerges. This reinterpretation, based on sources overlooked by critics, explains many of Thoreau's more idiosyncratic habits and obsessions. |
