This handsome, affordable paperback edition of Walden is the most authoritative version of Thoreau’s masterpiece to date. Cramer’s newly edited text is based on the original 1854 edition of Walden, with emendations taken from Thoreau’s draft manuscripts, his own markings on page proofs, and notes in his personal copy of the book. An elegantly produced paperback, it has been priced especially with the student market in mind. An introduction by Denis Donoghue places Thoreau’s life and achievement in context. Also included here are notes on the text, an afterword by the editor, and a helpful selected bibliography.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best available edition by far,
By OkieScribe "OkieScribe" (Tulsa OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walden (Yale Nota Bene) (Paperback)
Beautiful, affordable, and edited by an undisputed expert on Thoreau's writings, this is by far the best edition available of this classic work. I cannot recommend it too highly, especially to anyone who, like me, re-reads WALDEN on a regular basis. Good size to fit into a bag or purse yet large enough for ease of reading, Cramer's scholarship is worn lightly so that the beauty of the words can shine through. This will be the standard edition for years to come. Buy plenty of copies--one to keep for yourself, the others to give as gifts.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Walden (Yale Nota Bene) (Paperback)
I concur that this is indeed the best edition of Walden. The editing by Mr Cramer is superb, as well as his Afterword. The format of the book is better than any other I have seen. I am glad I bought it. You will not be sorry you did.
