Henry David Thoreau was a twenty-year-old scholarship student at Harvard when he met Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1837. Emerson, fourteen years Thoreau's senior and independently wealthy, had recently shaken the intellectual world of New England with the publication of Nature. Despite the disparity in their circumstances, Thoreau and Emerson quickly formed a close relationship that lasted until Thoreau's death at the age of forty-four. This book tells the story of their friendship. Harmon Smith emphasizes their personal bond, but also shows how their relationship affected their thought and writing and was in turn influenced by their careers.

My Friend, My Friend
A very readable and knowledgeable account of the relationship between Thoreau and Emerson, with their agreements and disagreements and the emotional responses to the same. Here is a good quote (p.141). "While Thoreau ultimately was forced to construct a mythology of his own to express himself adequately, Emerson had slowly evolved a philosophy to incorporate his ideas." For Thoreau experience led to understanding; for Emerson it was transcendental ideas drawn from nature. Thus there were tensions in the relationship.
