Examines 19th century American writer Henry David Thoreau's attitude towards language through the specific literary devices, images, techniques, and organizing principles that accent his broader concerns with language, communication, and meaning. Golemba finds that though Thoreau derived satisfaction from clear, factual writing, he was also constantly lured to the flowery language of desire. Annotation c.
