Invocations of Thoreau and Walden in response to climate change tend to combine these environmental and anti-consumer traditions, embracing Thoreau and his life at Walden above all as a model for individual lifestyle environmentalism. For Thoreau's example to support rather than impede our ability to respond effectively to climate change, then, we need to popularize new versions of Thoreau: a Thoreau who came to understand he could not retreat into nature or the self from the enormous outrages of slavery, in which he realized he too was unavoidably implicated; and who would respond, I hope, with a similar realization of implication and similarly fiery political activism to the enormous outrages of climate change today. Matteson and Grote playfully stage a debate between these two tendencies, personified as two different figures of Thoreau in dialogue with one another, "Henry David" and "David Henry" respectively: DAVID: Would you have the Thoreau who speaks for Nature, and for the flourishing of the planet?. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Concord Saunterer is the property of Thoreau Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
