Review # 1 was written on 2010-08-13 00:00:00 Jeanette Mccarthy This is an excellent book about the spiritual side of Henry David Thoreau. With great sensitivity and scholarship Hodder has reviewed Thoreau's published works and journals to uncover the intimate relationship he had with the divine, with nature, and with God. Thoreau's "ecstacy" was the way he lived and looked for truth in these relationships.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-19 00:00:00 Paul Andrade An excellent and insightful exploration of Thoreau's spirituality. Hodder examines Thoreau's writing as elegy, his relationship with Eastern religious traditions, as well as: sound, language, and, of course, the natural world.
