  Does Thoreau belong to the past or to the future? Instead of canonizing him as a celebrant of pure nature apart from the corruption of civilization, the essays in Thoreauvian Modernities reveal edgier facets of his work - how Thoreau is able to unsettle as well as inspire and how he is able to focus on both the timeless and the timely.
