Abstract
[Extract] Building upon recent environmentalist criticism that suggests ways Thoreau approached the strangeness of phenomena that did not accommodate themselves to a priori nationalistic categories, I want to suggest means by which the orbit of Thoreau’s writing expands from the transnational to the cross- temporal, with the multiple crosscurrents it creates positioning his narratives as complex forms of mediation across spatiotemporal dimensions that deliberately traverse the boundaries of his own time and place.
