Sharon Cameron's major claim is that this private work (the" Journal") was Thoreau's primary work, taking precedence over the books that he published in his lifetime. Her controversial thesis views Thoreau's "Journal "as a composition that confounds the distinction between public and private--the basis on which our conventional treatment of discourse depends. |
