This sweeping, epic biography of Henry David Thoreau sees Thoreau's world as the mystic himself saw it: filled with wonder and mystery; Native American myths and lore; wood sylphs, nature spirits, and fairies; battles between good and evil; and heroic struggles to live as a natural being in an increasingly synthetic world. Above all, Expect Great Things critically and authoritatively captures Thoreau's simultaneously wild and intellectually keen sense of the mystical, mythical, and supernatural. Other historians have skipped past or undervalued these aspects of Thoreau's life. In this groundbreaking work, historian and naturalist Kevin Dann restores Thoreau's esoteric visions and explorations to their rightful place as keystones of the man himself"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Thoreau, Henry David, $d 1817-1862. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Naturalists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Transcendentalists (New England) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mysticism and literature. 650 0 $a Spirituality in literature. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dann, Kevin T., 1956- author. $t Expect great things $d New York, New York : TarcherPerigee, [2017] $z 9780399184680 941 $a 9 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010015647.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20220806010457.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829013901.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084952.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070857.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20171115010624.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170512010239.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170315010859.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304032145.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B823887CA18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
