2017 having been the bicentennial of the birth of one of America’s most iconic nature writers – Henry David Thoreau – it’s not at all surprising that the publishing world saw a spike in books taking as their respective subject his life, his work, or simply invoking his spirit.
The year 2017 will mark the bicentennial of the birth of Henry David Thoreau. Not unexpectedly, it will also likely be the year in which we shall see a higher than usual number of new books about Thoreau as well as new editions of books by him.
