West of Walden: Thoreau in the 21st CenturyAuthor: The Huntington
The sun is but a morning star. Waldens famous last line points eastward to the sunrise; but Henry David Thoreau also wrote of the west, the sunset, and days end. To mark Thoreaus bicentennial year, this conference poses the question: How can we read Thoreau from the sundown side, the far west of his imagination? Can we see, in the awakening light of the sunset, another anticipation of the dawn? The conference was held at The Huntington April 78, 2017.
