Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The prose works of Henry David Thoreau are remarkable for romantic sensibility. Had he taken birth in England in the beginning of 19th Century, he would have been a romantic poet like Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Byron, Robert Southey etc. After getting education at Harvard University U.S.A. he returned to Concord. The members of his family had high hopes from him as Concord was a growing town. Many new banks and industries were established here in the middle of 19th Century.
