Thoreau's Professor Has His Say

Thoreau's Professor Has His Say

Walter Harding finds a book review by Thoreau’s old professor, C. Felton. In this 14-page review, Felton mentions an old student, Thoreau, a scholar of talent, but claims that Thoreau was a man of such “pertinacious oddity... that his writings will probably never do him any justice.” At the end of the quote, Harding says, “...and as to Prof. Felton’s judgment - we’ll leave that to you.”
