In Worcester, Massachusetts: Essays on Elizabeth Bishop from the 1997 Elizabeth Bishop Conference at Wpi, Vol. 18
What I learmed is that Thoreau was a hippie, romantic and luddite who one day stopped paying taxes due to his opposition to war and slavery. Harold Bloom joins a series of perspectives on the author from contemporaries and critics (interesting to think he lived in the same time as Louise May Alcott, and that she came from a progressive, first wave feminist family, seeing as Little Women is hailed as the ultimate cornerstone of traditional young girls' literature). Thoreau remains yet to be read, but this was a good introduction, I guess.
