In Thoreau's Democratic Withdrawal, Shannon L. Mariotti explores Thoreau's nature writings to offer a new way of understanding the unique politics of the so-called hermit of Walden Pond. Drawing imaginatively from the twentieth-century German social theorist Theodor W. Adorno, she shows how withdrawal from the public sphere can paradoxically be a valuable part of democratic politics. 410 0$aStudies in American thought and culture. 606 $aSolitude$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aSolitude$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a818/.309 700 $aMariotti$b Shannon L$g(Shannon Lee)$0861187 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248164103316 996 $aThoreau's democratic withdrawal$91922020 997 $aUNISA
