In 1848, Henry David Thoreau twice delivered lectures in Concord, Massachusetts, on \u201Cthe relationship of the individual to the state.\u201D The essay now known as Civil Disobedience is a significant and widely admired contribution to abolitionist literature, as well as an anti-war tract, but Thoreau\u2019s focus is less on political organization and solidarity than it is on personal choice and individual responsibility. Cultivating personal integrity in the face of political injustice is the project Thoreau defends in Civil Disobedience; this focus has made the work highly influential for twentieth- and twenty-first-century political movements.\nBob Pepperman Taylor\u2019s new Introduction explains the work\u2019s specific political context, helping readers to understand the text as Thoreau wrote it.
