Less attention has been paid, however, to the author's political philosophy and its influence on American public life. Although Thoreau's doctrine of civil disobedience has long since become a touchstone of world history, the greater part of his political legacy has been overlooked. With a resurgence of interest in recent years, \u003ci\u003eA Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau\u003c\/i\u003e is the first volume focused exclusively on Thoreau's ethical and political thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack Turner illuminates the unexamined aspects of Thoreau's political life and writings.
