In 1848, Henry David Thoreau twice delivered lectures in Concord, Massachusetts, on ?the relationship of the individual to the state.? The essay now known as Civil Disobedience is a significant and widely admired contribution to abolitionist literature, as well as an anti-war tract, but Thoreau?s focus is less on political organization and solidarity than it is on personal choice and individual responsibility. Cultivating personal integrity in the face of political injustice is the project Thoreau defends in Civil Disobedience; this focus has made the work highly influential for twentieth- and twenty-first-century political movements.
Bob Pepperman Taylor?s new Introduction explains the work?s specific political context, helping readers to understand the text as Thoreau wrote it. The edition also offers a number of historical documents on Thoreau?s abolitionism; the war with Mexico; and Thoreau?s philosophical development in relation to other thinkers.
